| Victoria Proclaims Family Relations and Estate Administration Acts

Two Acts which were
introduced at the recent
session of the legislature af-
fecting family relationships
and administration of es-
tates, have been proclaimed
by order-in-council,

The act to amend the
Administration Act il
come into force on June 1.
Attorney-General Leslie Pet-
erson in outlining the pro-
visions of the act sald, ‘She
basic purpose of the Ad-
ministration Act is to set
out the basis for the distri-
bution of the estates of de-
ceased persons. These am-
endments will update the
Act and bring it in line
with modern day society.”

Under the present law,
if a man dies and leaves
no will, his spouse and
child will each receive one-
half of the catte after pay-
ment of $20,000 to the wi-

This new amendment

also "entitles his spouse to a
life interest in the matri-
monial home, as well as her
share of the estate.

Protection is also pro-
vided under these new am-
endments for a common-law
wife and illegitimate child-
ren. Previously they were
limited to $500 or 10 per
cent of the estate which-
ever was greater. When this
act comes into effect on
June 1, the courts will de-
clde at their discretion what
amount should be awarded
from the estate to a com-
mon-law wife or illegitimate
child, taking into account
all the circumstances.

Another major amend-
ment is the provision that in
every estate of a deceased
person, all the beneficiaries
or anyone entitled to any
interest, have to be given

A algnificant change Is
