\nThis week on Hull on Estates, Craig Vander Zee and Nadia Harasymowycz discuss orders giving directions in the context of a will challenge. A will challenge offers an opportunity at the beginning of a case to assemble the evidence and consider how it will be dealt with going forward. Things to consider include:\n\xb7\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 Is mediation required?\n\xb7\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 What evidence is known?\n\xb7\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 What evidence needs to be obtained?\n\xb7\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 How is that all going to happen?\nThere are also factors to be considered at the beginning such as projected costs and the value of the estate either known to be or thought to be.
