Record 3 2003-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Estates (common law)
DEF

The personal right to the beneficial, peaceful and uninterrupted use of the home property free from claim of creditors.

CONT

The western provinces abolished dower but replaced it with homestead rights.... Rights in the homestead include the right to refuse consent to a change of homestead or to its sale(sales made without consent are void), a life estate in the whole of the homestead to the surviving spouse, and certain immunity from seizure of the homestead by creditors.... Homestead rights give the wife somewhat better protection than does dower : during her husband's lifetime she can prevent the sale of the homestead completely; and if she survives him, she has an exclusive life interest in the whole of the homestead rather than the one-third interest of dower. Homestead rights are less cumbersome than dower-they do not affect other real property of the spouse.

OBS

Homestead rights are often referred to as "dower" in the western provinces.

PHR

Inchoate homestead right

Domaine(s)
