Ottawa Estate Litigation Lawyers for Trust Interpretation

Estate documents are rarely straightforward or easy to interpret. They are generally complex and technical documents governed by equally complex legislation and statutes. In addition, estate documents can be open to interpretation based on their language and terms contained within.

Where there is confusion or a dispute about the intent of the estate document, or about certain terms, an application can be filed requesting the Court to interpret the document or term in question and provide clarity and direction. This is done through either a) an application for advice and direction or b) an interpretation application. These applications can be filed by executors, trustees, or anybody with a financial interest in a trust or estate.
