A B.C. woman challenged a will that left over 80 per cent of her mother’s wealth to her brother.

Ginny Lam challenged the will in court, saying her mother's decision was based on outdated gender values from 1960s village culture in China .

A court can vary a will if a will-maker does n’t adequately provide for a spouse or children.
