For an insightful review of the liability for negligence during the planning process, we recommend a good resource that you should read, Chapter 14, of John E.S. Poyser’s book, published by Thomson Reuters, Capacity and Undue Influence, Second Edition, pages 830-842. In this chapter, John addresses the liability to intended beneficiaries, liability to beneficiaries under prior Wills where they have been named, and embarks on a case law review with respect to liability. https://store.thomsonreuters.ca/en-ca/pdp/capacity-and-undue-influence-second-edition/30835411
