An adult child sought dependant's relief from their deceased mother's estate under the Succession Law Reform Act, claiming inadequate provision for support.
The court found the applicant was a dependant, as the deceased had systematically provided ongoing support, including food, shelter, and financial assistance, due to the applicant's inability to support themselves.
While the deceased's testamentary framework of providing an income stream was deemed appropriate, the amount was found inadequate to meet the applicant's accustomed standard of living.
The court ordered an increase in monthly support, adjusted annually for inflation, and required the applicant to vacate the deceased's condominium, denying a claim for past rent credit.
