flag James claims he was named in Doris’s updated will for $150,000, but only an older will was found, leaving everything to her daughter, sparking a dispute over the missing document’s fate.

flag James, a dog walker, believed he was named in Doris’s updated will to receive $150,000 for caring for her Yorkie, Huggles. flag After her death, only an older will was found, leaving everything to her daughter Alicia. flag James suspects Alicia destroyed the newer will to keep the inheritance, though Doris may have changed her mind or lost it. flag In British Columbia, if a will can’t be found and the testator held it, the law presumes intentional destruction—favoring Alicia. flag However, if the will’s terms match default inheritance laws, its loss has no effect. flag Experts stress storing wills with trusted third parties to avoid disputes.
