64 VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 THE ADVOCATE and the WESA’s estate administration provisions. The half-day course on the second day, “Estates Applications under the New Rules”, will examine the rules and forms in more detail, particularly the procedures to apply for administration grants. The full-day course is aimed at all practitioners, while the half-day course is geared more toward paralegals, legal support staff and junior lawyers. Peter Ramsay, Q.C., will co-chair each of the February 2014 courses, with Genevieve N. Taylor (Vancouver), Margaret R. Sasges (Victoria) and Geoffrey W. White (Kelowna). CLEBC’S WILLS AND ESTATES PUBLICATIONS It has been a busy year for Jonathan Vogt, our senior legal editor, who is responsible for our many wills and estates publications. He has supported the work of our stellar volunteers by coordinating and editing updates to all our wills and estates resources—both print and online. Since 1979, the B.C. Probate and Estate Administration Practice Manual has been the first resource for the B.C. legal profession when handling probate and estate administration matters. The current edition features alerts throughout the chapters for the WESA and the new Probate Rules. The next (2014) edition will arrive in February, in time for the February 2014 CLEBC courses. Subscriptions include online access and forms and precedents on CD-ROM. B.C. Estate Planning and Wealth Preservation is a comprehensive guide to help you provide effective estate planning strategies and tools for your clients and their complex portfolios. All the key knowledge is here, from valuable overview commentary to details of tax planning techniques and drafting considerations. The update to Estate Planning will be published in June 2014. Wills Precedents: An Annotated Guide has been immensely popular since it was first published in 1998. This collection of sample will clauses and documents includes representation agreements and many other B.C.-focused precedents. Peter W. Bogardus, Q.C., and Mary B. Hamilton and Sadie L. Wetzel of Davis LLP have created an outstanding and practical resource. We’ve recently added a “document builder” to Wills Precedents. Users can select desired clauses, create complete document templates, save the templates for future use and download the complete document to the user’s computer. The next edition will arrive in February 2014. Annotated Estates Practice 2013, a portable consolidation of core wills and estates law materials, includes key statutes annotated by leading estates lawyers. The current edition includes the full consolidated text of the WESA and of the new Probate Rules and forms, as well as updated narrative
THE ADVOCATE VOL. 72 PART 1 JANUARY 2014 65 overviews of the recent legislative initiatives. In addition, this edition includes tables of concordance for the WESA and for the revised Probate Rules. The 2014 edition will be released in April. The WESA Transition Guide, first published when the new statute was introduced, has been completely updated with information about the new Probate Rules and other important changes. This guidebook includes overviews of the WESA and the Probate Rules, detailed tables of concordance and full, annotated versions of the WESA and Probate Rules. You will also find topical chapters that review key emerging and transition issues, and learn what you don’t need to worry about at this time. INTRODUCING OUR PAPERLESS COURSE MATERIALS INITIATIVE Just a reminder that as of January 1, 2014, registrants of our programs will receive course materials in electronic form only. The electronic version of course materials provides more flexibility for storing and access (before, during and after the course). Materials are downloadable in PDF, fully searchable and updated to incorporate additional papers even after the course. We provide complimentary Wi-Fi access at our live courses, so you can easily access the course materials on your tablet or laptop. We’ve already received some great support for this change.
