According to ''[https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2015/2015bcsc2248/2015bcsc2248.html?autocompleteStr=Howland%20Estate%20v.%20Sikora%2C%202015%20BCSC%20&autocompletePos=1 Howland Estate v. Sikora]'', 2015 BCSC 2248: “The death of the claimant, prior to the coming into force of the [''Family Law Act''], does not override the respondent's right to commence an action against the claimant's estate so long as it occurs within the two year period contemplated in s. 198 [of the ''Family Law Act''], as happened here.” In summary, this means that the ''Family Law Act'' claims can continue even past death as long as the claimant brings a suit within two years. | According to ''[https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2015/2015bcsc2248/2015bcsc2248.html?autocompleteStr=Howland%20Estate%20v.%20Sikora%2C%202015%20BCSC%20&autocompletePos=1 Howland Estate v.
