These materials provide initial resources for both emerging and certain longstanding issues in estate disputes. The summaries touch on issues with accessing a deceased individual’s digital assets and accounts, a surviving partner’s claim against estates, transfers and gifts by the deceased, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence by parties and lawyers in litigation.

These materials are part of a collection presented at LESA’s Estate Disputes program in Edmonton on June 4, 2026.
