What is the presumption of destruction of a will? In Haider v. Kalugin (2008), the BC Supreme Court reiterated that if a will is last seen in the possession of the deceased but cannot be located upon death, it is presumed to have been intentionally destroyed by the deceased.

Final factor is:
whether the testator made statements to the effect that he had a will

Takeaway:
Making a will is important but so is making sure that the original is available to your chosen executor when the time comes so your estate doesn't fall into intestacy.

Everyone is comfortable and financially smart until there's a need to bury a loved one. Funeral costs are not cheap in North America. Your wealth-building strategy is incomplete without proper estate planning. Life Insurance is a good estate planning tool. Get it when you are eligible. May we all live long.

Remember for most things tax related, there are also other legal/operational implications.

Example

You hire someone as a contractor when they should be an employee.

This is a tax risk.

But separate from tax, there are also employment law considerations. If you fire them, they may be eligible for severance.

@AravindSitham It can be tough to determine what the issue was and the only source of information for most people would be flight tracking websites like flight aware and flight radar. They can show you when the plane that was scheduled for your flight landed etc

🎄 Holiday PSA: If an airline denies you compensation without proof and the facts seem off, don't just accept it!

Always advocate for yourself - you might end up like me going from ‘delay caused by weather’ to full settlement simply by filing a lawsuit against the airline. In this case in the UK - it was tough but worth it.

@danielmullen @AravindSitham That must have been painful

[Pius Omene @PiusOmene]

It depends on the jurisdiction 😁.

The sad reality across the board though is that litigation appears to be the most effective way of compelling these companies to pony up.

In this case I used the money claims service but it requires a UK address. Thing to note is you don’t actually have to live in the UK - you can use anyone’s address. Infact the processes aren’t even served by mail - the parties prefer to use electronic means.

The UK money claims process is explained in detail here - https://t.co/Fpab4nigyw.

If the claim relates to domestic travel in Canada it is now a recognized fact that going straight to small claims court is the fastest and most effective way to claim compensation because of huge backlogs at the CTA.

I am of course available to provide whatever assistance I can.
