As our societies become increasingly globalized, so may our personal lives acquire an increasingly cross-border dimension. Wills and estates are two of the areas in which this phenomenon may be felt most strongly. Yet, different states’ rules governing these matters may differ.
How may one determine the rules applicable to their given situation? In case of conflict, in which jurisdiction and tribunal must one seek resolution or redress? Where one obtains a judgement abroad, how will it be treated in Quebec? And, above all, in what ways may this globalized reality affect one’s own approach to estate planning?
This video conference offered by Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence as part of the Educaloi project aims to answer these questions and better equip its participants to understand wills and estates in a cross-border context.
The conference will be followed by a question period.
