This document summarizes the results of consultations ALRI conducted for the it’s law reform project on the Alberta Dower Act. ALRI ran two online surveys. Both surveys were open from 3 December 2021 to 7 March 2022. One survey was aimed at the general public – the general survey. Another survey was aimed at professionals who use the Dower Act in their work, including lawyers, real estate brokers and agents, landmen, and estate planners or administrators – the technical survey.

Respondents were not required to answer all questions. Some skipped questions, so the number of responses to each question may be less than the total number of respondents.

We also received written comments from 8 individuals by email, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
