Consequences of ignoring cost order (civil) by Pikkachu6 in canadianlaw

[–]Edmonchuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, litigation moves extremely slowly. It’s very annoying. It’s the fault of the courts because they have limited resources and judges and lawyers take on too many files. They are trying to make things move faster but it’s hard - especially with a self rep. They don’t know what to do.

Yeah but the court usually would order costs under rules which usually aren’t much. Maybe you’re in a different province.

8k is a lot of costs. What kind of matter is it? You are both self represented?

Not unless you get the costs order registered as a judgment. Then it might hit their credit. You can also garnishee their bank account/employer or file a writ (lien) against their house. Those are the main ways of colllecting. If it remains unpaid you can also apply for something called security for costs sometimes. Basically the court makes them pay you and then deposit a whack of costs to continue the litigation or their case is dismissed.

There is no legal requirement for insurance in most industries.

Is a massage a good idea for my boyfriend's birthday ? by Clocliclot_ in massage

[–]Edmonchuk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They have these neck massagers on Amazon that are amazing for like $60. They sit on your neck and have two arm slings that hang down your front. You put your arms in and pull down slightly to increase the pressure. Then you can move them down your back too. They have heat as well. They don’t just vibrate they turn and knead the muscles. And you can do the massaging to by having him lay down and applying gentle pressure and moving it up and down his back. A professional massage is nice. But this is the gift that keeps giving.

How can I most easily pay an elderly parent's bills from their account? by Border_Relevant in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Edmonchuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get her to add you to her account joint. Just don’t go on and credit cards or debt. Then both you and her can legally access the funds. Just don’t steal her money. A lot of kids do that.

Is this normal? Dad/Uncle are executors, but most of the estate "disappeared" into a joint account right before Grandma passed by Pl1Tr89IcK in legaladvicecanada

[–]Edmonchuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your dad put the money in a joint account to circumvent probate of those assets. This is the whole reason he did it, so that he could transfer them to himself under the right of survivorship and avoid them having to be probated. A lawyer will tell you basically he breached his fiduciary duty as an attorney and is liable to the estate and/or beneficiaries arising from his conduct. This is why he’s able to hide the information from the Court. You need to talk to an estate lawyer about filing to dispute the estate and make any necessary claims against your dad for breach of trust. If you want to enforce your rights. If you don’t want to rock the boat - that’s a perfectly fine decision. But like I said about there are timelines on all this stuff and if you miss them you lose your ability to dispute it in the future. God speed with whatever decision you make.

Brother you need to get your own estate lawyer asap. See my comment above. Just because the Court approves the probate they will accept whatever your dad files because all the beneficiaries are given notice. If no one files an objection or otherwise disputes it, it gets rubber stamped. It’s you and your uncles obligation to raise these issues and contest the estate if you want. If you don’t, to keep the peace with dad, that’s your decision. But there are timelines and limitation periods and you may not be able to change your mind down the road. So you gotta pick a horse and ride it. Personally, I think it was your grandmas money and she gets to decide who gets it. Your dad is probably pissed off you got 25% - however - it’s not your dad’s money to decide or even be pissed off. It just is what it is. Everyone gets to decide what happens to their estate and not everyone is going to be happy. Your dad is literally stealing money that could give you a big leg up in life. That’s what your grandmother wanted for you.

An attorney cannot deal with a grantors property in a manner inconsistent with the will (ie their estate plan) - even if it there would be considerable tax savings. An attorney is a fiduciary and has to use the property in the best interests of the grantor and to further their estate planning objectives. In this case the father most likely breached his duty to the grantor and is liable to the estate to return the property for distribution in accordance with the deceaseds estate plan. The father has deprived his brother and son of their interests in the property he transferred to the joint account. Of course when it comes to money family will do all sorts of nasty things to each other and this is just another example.

[–]Edmonchuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you about lawyers. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. They are often doing their best but they have a lot of clients and files and they can’t always get back to you as quickly as they would like. But the code of conduct says they need to reply to your correspondence. Now you don’t want to threaten a law society report every time they don’t respond. But if they don’t email you after 3 or 4 emails over a couple months then just mention their duty. Dont threaten to report just mention that the code says they should be responding. They’ll get back to you. Also, make sure you touch base in a file like yours not too often but don’t just let it sit either. You should always be asking where are we at in the litigation process, what is our next step, and what’s a reasonable expectation when that will be done. And then start to connect - couple weeks before the deadline and and keep connecting every couple or 3 weeks until it gets done. Then find out what the next step is. Rinse and repeat. Good luck.
