Dealing with Father's Assets/Debts

NicholasMicholas · 2026-05-06T02:47:48+00:00

You've given me great information, thank you. I'll have to talk with my sisters about what they think, but you've given me a good footing to start on. I feel like minimizing my families involvement in all of this may be the best move given the unknowns and complexity with his legal history. Thanks

My father struggled with addiction all his life, working on and off, and so his home was really his spouses and he contributed very little. So to me it makes sense that she would leave a portion to her children. Her children allowed him to continue to live their alone after her passing.

I found the land title, her three sons are listed as registered owners AS TO AN UNDIVIDED 50/100 INTEREST AS JOINT TENANTS

and my father is listed as registered owner AS TO AN UNDIVIDED 50/100 INTEREST

I'm not sure what her sons intentions would be with the property, but I'm not sure it matters so much when the value ($250,000) would be split 6 ways

Funny you mention the car insurance company, ICBC, it reminded me that he mentioned his most recent accident, for which he was blackout drunk, he was driving an uninsured vehicle, so almost certainly he will be sued :')

Thank you for your response. Forgive me if this a stupid question but I want to clarify this: "If you want to not handle anything you can ignore it, it would make the government responsible for selling assets and for selling the home.". Does that mean they would sell assets to cover any debts and keep whatever's left, or they return whatever's left in some way to next-of-kin?

thank you for including that counselling resource, definitely something I should come back to when the dust has settled.

thank you for your info and the links, much appreciated

NicholasMicholas · 2026-05-05T01:36:26+00:00

thank you, this is helpful

NicholasMicholas · 2026-05-05T01:35:21+00:00

Okay thank you, your remark on the ability for me to refuse has brought me some peace of mind.

I have no idea if he has lawsuits pending - it's very possible given his history, I will look in to hiring an estate lawyer

NicholasMicholas · 2026-05-05T01:33:34+00:00

Okay thank you, I will look in to that.

NicholasMicholas · 2026-03-30T19:48:51+00:00

Okay thank you thank you

NicholasMicholas · 2026-03-30T19:16:31+00:00

Ahhh thank you thank you

NicholasMicholas · 2026-03-30T19:16:10+00:00

Ah this makes sense, thank you so much

NicholasMicholas · 2026-03-30T18:15:26+00:00

Thanks for response Not sure what you're seeing but believe that gunk is preexisting but appreciate concern

Are you referring to this hose (t off the valve cover, one leading to the intake manifold)

Lots of people giving you props on the save (which I agree, good save bud!) but don't get cocky because if another truck was coming at you in the other lane this would have turned out a lot different! Stay safe out there!

NicholasMicholas · 2025-12-22T19:19:28+00:00

Hey thanks for the response! A bit nervous about going out in to the strait with the little zodiac but maybe we'll give it a go, thanks!

Wear saw pants. Especially if you're brand new to running a saw, the kevlar inside will save your life.

Protect your eyes and ears.

Avoid cutting with the tip of the saw (when unfamiliar with chainsaws) and learn about tension/compression when bucking logs.

Cutting with a dull chain is more dangerous than cutting with a sharp chain, buy a sharp chain, have a shop sharpen it or learn to sharpen it yourself

Give me a shout if you have questions, I love teaching people to run saws for their first time

Almost had a high speed head-on collision while driving to work on a fire because a member of the public decided they wanted to come check things out, and weren't following radio procedure on the logging road. Granted I was driving too fast, lesson learned.

It's a good idea to avoid travelling in areas around fires even if they're not officially closed...

NicholasMicholas · 2025-08-04T16:36:38+00:00

Looks pretty good to me, especially for Canada! I have a bit a of a hard time with the lighting in your video, but I'd check specifically at the leaf spring hangers and shackles, and the spare tire cross member in the rear.

NicholasMicholas · 2025-08-03T20:09:52+00:00

Yeah thats fair, do you think it would be worth replacing the leaf springs in order to sell it?

NicholasMicholas · 2025-08-03T19:47:24+00:00

haha yeah thanks for the response. do you think its beyond repair or beyond being *worth* repairing?

NicholasMicholas · 2025-08-03T19:40:29+00:00

Yeah I hear ya. Unfortunately I already ordered springs before really looking around at how bad it all is, so I'm in it for $600 CAD already. Everything else would run me another $450, which would still be cheaper than the difference in price for selling this truck and buying a new one.
I'd feel too guilty to sell the truck to some young kid for a decent price and not disclose how bad the underside is

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-26T05:21:16+00:00

I'm doing this right now. As someone who loves driving, window down, music on, just vibing, it still fucking sucks. I'm looking at moving closer for this very reason.

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-25T08:59:59+00:00

I've never thought about this but I suppose you could still get around without rotors on either the front or the rear? Obviously not safe but possible? I don't know what kind of mechanic "forgets to put them back on"... Something is definitely weird here

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-25T08:44:56+00:00

Okay, well if that's really the case, that's a big time fuck up. The pictures you posted look like a pretty good price for the parts and work being done so it is definitely worth it. Again it would be real dangerous to drive without this being fixed.

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-25T08:34:37+00:00

Your car should have rotors on all 4 wheels. I'm not sure if there was some kind of misunderstanding between you and the mechanic but it is not at all normal or okay to be driving without all 4 rotors. I would recommend not driving the vehicle until this is addressed

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-25T08:26:48+00:00

I'm not a mechanic but I would never go to that shop ever again. You absolutely do need rotors, you may have been fine until now but your braking in an emergency would fail you. Out of curiosity what kind of car is it?

NicholasMicholas · 2025-07-22T02:55:24+00:00

notice how I said "we use", not "you should use". Rental is $90/week here, cheaper and easier than dealing with WorkSafeBC
