This paper discusses the application of the Alberta Limitations Act to estate litigation generally. Specifically it addresses claims to which the Act does not apply and explores situations in which a claimant is a person under disability, where a claimant is a minor, and where a plaintiff is the Personal Representative. The paper also provides examples of the application of the discoverability rule in recent Alberta estate cases.
