THE ADVOCATE VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 63 NEWS FROM CLEBC SOCIETY By Susan Munro* EDUCATING THE PROFESSION ABOUT THE WESA Here at CLEBC, our initiative to educate the B.C. legal profession about the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (“WESA”) is now well under way. The new statute comes into force on March 31, 2014, and will result in major changes in practice and procedure. We have planned a full suite of course and publication updates, along with an online resource centre, to ensure that the B.C. legal profession has all the tools it needs to fully understand the new statute, new rules and new forms. For many of these projects, we’re working with the British Columbia Law Institute, where much research into a new wills and estates regime for this province has been done. THE WESA RESOURCE CENTRE CLEBC has created a portal, , to connect B.C. legal professionals with information and resources about the WESA. We have included many informative articles on the new Act, convenient listings of available print and online publications, and a listing of upcoming WESA events and courses. Check the site often, as we are adding new information all the time. WESA COURSES In February 2014—in Vancouver (February 13 and 14), Victoria (February 20 and 21), and Kelowna (February 27 and 28)—CLEBC will offer a full-day course (either live or by webinar) followed by a separate half-day course (live course only). The full-day course, “Estate Administration: Navigating the New Rules”, will deal with the nuts and bolts of the new Probate Rules * Susan Munro is the director of publications at CLEBC.
