Statute of Limitation in BC for Estate Litigation?

Does anyone know what the statute of limitation is for estate litigations? Or know of any sites which provide that information.

My mother passed away 6 years ago without a will. The family home was owned by both her and my father, both names appear on the title. She had no individual assets other then a savings account. Everything else included my father's name. One of my sibblings is threatening to go to court over my mother's estate after my father dies. They feels they are entitled to all assets. They are not my father's biological child nor did my father adopt them.

    since there is no will it is considered Intestate.Your father usually receives the first $200,000 and the rest is divided between the surviving children.there is no statute of limitations.Look up the Succession Law Reform Act and estate administration act this will explain more details.Hope this helps.
