I just do not understand if I am not happy with a purchase from Amazon, I do not have to pay, but if I am not happy with what a lawyer does, I still have to pay.
Justice must not only be done, but must also be seen to be done.
The law says that due process and accountability matter. But in my case, the probate system did not work; it wasn't intuitive. There seems to be two routes: one the legislature piecemeals together and the other what the lawyers do. Unfortunately, in BC, lawyers have to do probate at a great disservice to the public. It is like a deep hole with cascading footnotes. There are nuances and then there are more nuances. For example, the law says where there is no will and only siblings surviving, the majority decides who should be the administrator. It does not say the majority has to chose the best qualified so it becomes a popularity contest which is not the intent of the legislation. It is implicit that the beneficiaries should choose the best qualified. But what happens if they don't. It can be the one who has a grade 3 education and for whom an attorney can manipulate that might be. Lawyers need clients, and it is best that they have clients who lack knowledge. If a lawyer makes a mistake who would know. And lawyers make mistakes often. Ask any person who served as an executor what a fiduciary is, and they would not know.
I have been reviewing the research I have been doing and I am shocked at how the process can be compromised. I have been reading a book authored by Wes Mussio, Fair Inheritance. Although he tired to make the information easy to understand, I have a great deal of questions I could ask. I even found videos he did on YouTube explaining in short videos different segments of the process. An estate can, even a simple/modest one, be complex.
Can Estates be fast tracked by lawyers for a fast buck
When you hired a lawyer, his fees are paid first, even before taxes are paid. They have priority. It can happen that after a lawyers gets paid, there is nothing left. Lawyers might ask for a retainer at the beginning and wait for the rest at the end because they know they will get their money.
When you do not understand something, you follow the money.
"They do not know what the f,, ,they are doing."
The normalization of "f... you" by The Donald, the President of the United States of America, being the defacto authority for acceptable use of "f..." language.
From searching the internet.
In Canadian law, swearing a false affidavit is supposed to be a serious offence — it’s called perjury, and it’s a crime under section 131 of the Criminal Code. But if you’ve ever been involved in an estate dispute, you may have noticed something strange: even when someone lies under oath, nothing happens.
This isn’t a rare occurrence. In probate litigation — where family members are often battling things perceived or real. — false affidavits have become commonplace. People swear statements that are knowingly misleading or outright untrue, often to tilt the court process in their favour. And yet, no one is ever charged.
That’s not because the law doesn't apply. Perjury technically applies in civil cases, including estate matters. But in practice, the system turns a blind eye. Prosecutors don’t lay charges. Judges don’t refer matters for investigation. Lawyers may raise an eyebrow, but few take formal steps. The lie gets absorbed into the process, like a stain no one bothers to clean. And the lie is believed.
The result? A quiet but dangerous message is being sent:
If you’re in probate court, and you think lying might help — go ahead, especially if your lawyer present the lie in an affidavit, so you rationalize it must be okay.
This is devastating if you have your own lawyer or not. Without the resources to have your lawyer prove it, hire investigators or cross-examine professionally, the lie becomes nonconsequential. Even when the falsehood is obvious, the court will call it a “credibility issue” or a “misunderstanding” rather than what it really is: a calculated abuse of the system.
This isn’t just a problem of legal technicality. It’s a problem of principle. When people can lie in sworn affidavits without consequence, as it is a civil lie rather than a criminal lie, the very idea of justice starts to erode. Truth becomes optional. The courtroom turns into a battleground where strategy beats honesty — and that’s not a justice system. That’s a game.
Probate litigation is already emotionally and financially exhausting. But when the courts tolerate false sworn statements — especially from those in positions of advantage — it deepens the unfairness. And it tells the public that the law doesn’t apply equally, even when it should.
It’s time to name this problem for what it is. If perjury isn’t enforced in probate, then let’s be honest and say so. But if we still believe in the importance of truth in the courtroom, then the justice system must prove it — not with words, but with action.
In my brother's affidavit he swore that I was a prolific litigator. He cites a number of court files I had (46). I do not recognize most of them, maybe actions were started and never served on me. Or maybe there are more than one Audrey Laferriere in Vancouver. One was a bankruptcy. I was never bankrupt. Leah filed a document re this estate (dispute notice) and it was never served on me. Later after I discovered it six months later I asked Ron about it and he said he did not know anything about it. So it happens. Same with Jenny, her lawyers signed documents which she did not know about.
When I read the paragraph about me being a prolific litigator, I was dumbfounded. How low can Leah get. For what reason I do not know. I suspect it was to tell the court that since I was such a prolific litigator, I would know what I waa doing to make sure that Ron did not get his inheritance as I knew how to delay the probate. Therefore it was planned that I pay special costs. And who is to pay for this stupidity, of course, me, as my application was dismissed because I did not follow court rules.
I remembering asking for an adjournment and I was given two days, not enough time to counter Ron's and Jenny's affidavits. But when Candace wanted an adjournment, a one month adjournment was given. Jenny's affidavit was 56 pages long and Ron's 9 pages. I also was terribly ill during this time and had to travel by bus from Vancouver to Kamloops and from Kamloops to Vancouver and then from Vancouver to Kamloops.. There was no way I could have done what had to be done within two days. The learning curve would take me at least two months. I would also have had to produce a binder that was 151 pages long 4 copies with a cover page, 11 tabs, index. Try to do that when you do not even have a proper printer/photocopy machine. A binder for the court contains all documents that have to be in a three-ring binder and must be delivered two days before the hearing. I am in Vancouver and the registry is in Kamloops. Impossible.
I note on the first page (the style of cause) I never cited Rockey's name. I do not know how the probate registry could have filed it. The most important party is not mentioned. If I really knew what I was doing I would have included Rockey's name in the style of cause.
All this over three assets. A fee simple property, a customized van, and monies in a trust account.
I have never been good at puzzles, jokes, or interpreting subtle hints. I did not understand why my brother would swear in an affidavit that I hated him and I wanted to delay the probate so he would not get his inheritance in a timely way. I do not hate anyone, my siblings do not hate me. We come from a dysfunctional family, we just talk like we hate each other.
The lawyers had my brother sign the affidavit because they wanted it in the record to say that the application I did to revoke the estate grant had an improper motive. And this would create a reason for special costs that I would have to pay. Special costs is serious money. It was the lawyers who asked for special costs. They did not have to. I doubt that Ron or Jenny understood what the lawyers were doing.
I lost the application because I did not follow the rules.
The application was for the estate grant be revoked because important documents were not served on all the parties, transparency was absent. No due process.
I still cannot understand why his lawyer felt it necessary to have my brother submit an affidavit at great legal expense to the court, stating that I hated him. An affidavit that I have been ordered to pay for. How would that hasten my brother's modest windfall inheritance? How can a brother do this to a sibling? It doesn't make sense. And his sanitizing of his Facebook page doesn't make sense to me either. And I am not allowed to speak with my brother for clarification, as his lawyer will not permit it. What are we dealing with? A threat of terrorism, a threat to national security. This behaviour by my brother and his lawyer is very perplexing. It must be WESA the author of the BC probate industrial complex. It is alive and well in British Columbia.
I just realized that my brother who is deficient in integrity has been sending all my emails that I sent to him direct to Leah Card and she has used them to ask for special costs. Leah had my brother sign an affidavit which was perjurious. And rather than recanting or seeking a second opinion he ran to Leah. And Gretta his wife was witness to the conversation that never happened.
I do not understand how is committing perjury going to hasten the probate process. Ron's mantra has always been I just want it (the probate) over with.
I was accused that I was delaying the estate probate because I hated my brother. What a stupid statement that my brother's lawyer (Leah Card) put into an affidavit and to that affidavit my brother blindly signed. No one asked me if I hated my brother He doesn't have much integrity but that does not mean I HATE him to the point that I will make sure he will not get his windfall inheritance.
I should mention that I am 80 years old and my brother is 79 years old. What makes Leah think.
After my ordeal on Wesdnesay, court appearance opposing a taxation proposal by my exlawyer, I am finally starting to feel better. As I age it takes me longer to calm down. The uncertainty of attending a court hearing is very upsetting. The unexpected might happen. The day before the hearing I discovered that service was improper so the matter was adjourned. I still had to attend the hearing as there was no guarantee that the court would adjourn the matter. What a terrible waste of time and money. I wonder if I can ask for costs from my exlawyer for the inconvenience to my person. A week of my life gone.

The probability of living to 100 years old in British Columbia, Canada, is relatively low but gradually increasing. As of recent data, centenarians make up about 0.03% of the Canadian population, meaning that for every 100,000 people, approximately 30 reach their 100th birthday.
British Columbia has one of the highest life expectancies in Canada, with women living an average of 84.7 years and men around 80.5 years. Factors that influence longevity include genetics, healthcare access, lifestyle choices, and environmental conditions.
Costs of a funeral is getting expensive. I was quoted $20,000.
And I was advised today that I need surgery and there will be an additional cost of $5,000.
When I get better I have decided that I will move to Kamloops. I liked the smallness of the City rather than Vancouver.
Any comments on experiences wherein lawyers have perverted WESA please let me know.

Yesterday I received an email from the agent for Candace Cates that I should consult with a lawyer as I did not understand why I had to sign an Order that I did not agree with. Now within 24 hours she has changed her mind and demand that I sign the Order without giving me the opportunity to consult with a lawyer. I have asked the other parties to the estate to fire both Canadace Cates and Leah Card.
I was told that I hated my family. I do not hate anyone. However, my family is hateful. They do whatever it takes to get a piece of silver and they do not care who they covet. There is no honesty, there is no truth. There is no integrity.
I am still very ill. I feel very uncomfortable. I feel very weak.
I was at a hearing today. I should not have gone as I was not well. Anyways I lost. I did not do the right technical stuff.
I feel that I was raped because I wore a short skirt.
I do not know the details but then Candace true to form hasn't sent me a summary but then why should she. We are suppose to be working together and Candace's idea of working together is to ignore me.
I was at a short hearing asking for an adjournment addressing among things false affidavits Jenny and Ron filed in the Kamloops Court house January 13 2025. That did not do seem to make a difference. Canadace/Leah went on and on that the estate was being delayed. What a joke that is when, in fact, Jenny and her family wants the estate to be delayed so they could continue to live on the property rent-free for at least another year. Maybe longer as no one is going to buy the property unless it gets cleaned up as it smells like a barn. There would not be any delay if Jenny just resigned from being administrator because she was not qualified and she and her family were in a serious conflict of interest. Procedurally due process was not done. Everthing was fine until Candace got hired telling Jenny that she could get more than what she was entitled to.What I do not understand is what does Ron expect to get out of this at this late date. He believed that he was going to be the administrator but that did not happen. He attempted to have the property listed. All the interested parties say they want the matter over with it. How can that possibly happen. . And how can Candace and Leah who are officers of the court allow untruthful and irrelevant information to be part of affidavits filed in the court registry? This information was included to distract from the fact that the estate is being defrauded. Both Candace and Leash should be disbarred. We expect more from lawyers.
I was told by a retired professional, there is nothing to stop an adminiatrator/executor from opening a trust account, put the proceeds of the sale of assets in it, then withdraw the money and run.. You do not even have to disappear, you can explain that the money was spent. If there is no money what can the beneficiaries do.
I had to go to Kamloops on Sunday. It takes a lot of time even for such a short distance. One day travelling there, one day travelling back, and the days recovering after the hearing. I am still not over the exhaustion of it all. Being old is not the place to be.
I am very angry over what is happening. Two lawyers in Kamloops are not being cooperative and I am finding myself having to go to Kamloops because they prefer not to allow me to consent to adjournments. They prefer the cost of going in front of a judge to get an adjournment rather than call me. They are going to get me, and at my age and my limited financial resources, they are. I cannot believe how vicious they are. They know you are vulnerable because of age and history and they do not care. It is their clients attacking me, not them, they are only following instructions. They know the law and they do not have to be kind. They wrote affidavits that their clients signed defaming me. I am sure their clients did not fully understand what they were signing as clients for the most part just sign affidavits because their lawyer told them to do it. Sign here, to get it over with., do not worry about perjury. Perjury is like shoplifting, everyone is doing it and there is no serious consequences. The affidavits contained outrageous ridiculous allegations which were not true. It is hard to describe my anger. The only thing I know is that I am stresed to the point I find it hard to do anything. And to add to the stress, my computer is not functioning the way it should. And using a computer at the library has limitations and is inconvenient.
After reading Jenny's affidavit that she was in good medical health, I went to her FACEBOOK looking for a recent photograph of her which was there showing her being extremely thin. Evidence to prove she was ill. It was taken during the time she told me that she was not well and she could not eat. She was always tired and had no energy. She spoke of her future being in a wheelchair.
The Probate Industrial Complex. When lawyers create exorbitant fees. I recently was a party to a group of retired women and lawyer fees for estates were being discussed. Comments were made that some lawyers charge up to $1,000 an hour.
I find it very hard to deal with each day.
It seems I am always having difficulties with my computers.
My husband used to say that the internet was going to be the death of us all.
I believe him. All the time I spend trying to do computer work is always with its problems.
Another bad day. I spent most of today and yesterday trying to make my computer workable. No such luck. I had to send my computer in for repair. Last time it was in repair for three weeks. It worked for a month and then it was in again. Computers are so stressful. I was wanting to type out a document and I do not think I will be able to do it as all my comments are lost and it will take me forever to reconstruct the information.
