What is the effect of the wishes of the deceased's great-grandfather on the distribution of his inheritance?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Paterson v. Remedios, 1999 SKQB 6 (CanLII):
The wishes expressed in the grandfather's will are not determinative of the issue (see Seaberly v. Seaberly). In the instant case, the receipt of the inheritance shortly before separation weighs in favour of an unequal distribution. The use of the funds toward various joint matrimonial uses weighs in favour of an equal distribution.
