What is the test for an equalization of the value of a cottage that has appreciated since the marriage of a husband and wife?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kuhberg v. Hall, 2015 BCSC 2230 (CanLII):
The claimant relies on Wells v. Campbell, 2015 BCSC 3 [Wells]. In that case, the claimant in 2008 transferred his interest in a cottage that he had owned since 1974 into joint tenancy with his wife, some 16 years after they married. At issue in their family law proceeding was whether the wife was entitled to an equal division of the entire property or only that portion that had appreciated since the relationship commenced.
