The applicant and the respondent separated in 2006.
The respondent died in 2010 before the trial concluded.
The applicant converted her family law claims into a dependant's relief claim under the Succession Law Reform Act.
The estate was insolvent, but the respondent had a $1 million life insurance policy naming his daughters as beneficiaries.
The court found the applicant was a dependant entitled to adequate provision and awarded her a lump sum of $430,000 from the life insurance proceeds, after accounting for equalization, child support, and occupation rent.
The balance of the policy proceeds was ordered to be paid to the daughters.
