The appellants, adult independent children of the deceased, appealed a trial decision dismissing their application to set aside their father's will.
The deceased left his entire estate to his daughter-in-law.
The appellants argued the deceased had a moral obligation to provide for them.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that Ontario law does not recognize a moral obligation to provide for independent adult children that can displace a competent testator's autonomous distribution of property.
