John Van Husen

The plaintiff, widow of the deceased, challenged the validity of her late husband's will, sought an equalization payment under the Family Law Act, and dependant support under the Succession Law Reform Act.

The defendant, the deceased's daughter and estate trustee, defended the will's validity and disputed the equalization and support claims.

The court found the will valid, dismissed the support claim, and provided findings for the calculation of the equalization payment, leaving the final amount for the parties to agree upon.
