Ancestor’s wills and estate records aren’t always easy to find. We’re here to help you stop the endless searching so you can find these important documents with confidence!
Canadian Wills plus Estate and Inheritance Part 1 has been completely updated and enriched with new up-to-date information. Our mentoring professor, Drew von Hasselbach, PLCGS, is a lawyer with years of experience working with wills and estates.
The course modules include the anatomy of a will, how and where to find a will, examining probate files, laws of succession, and some unusual wills that have fascinated lawyers and law students for years.
Each module contains recommendations for additional reading and resources. You’ll also find images of historical records, a background of the Canadian legal system, what you may find in provincial archives, and even learn about the oldest written will.
A great deal of valuable genealogical information is available in wills and estate files. Whether the deceased was testate or intestate, this course examines how these documents reveal not only the distribution of the property and possessions of ancestors, but also relevant historical information.
Wills and estate records can lead to new clues to research.
They can also be immensely fun to read!
Registration in the course includes a free download of the course material. Printed course material is available for purchase on the registration page.
