A red flag. conflicts should not be settled at the passing of accounts.

 When a lawyer says "conflicts can be resolved at the passing of accounts." what they are really doing is: (1) protecting their client (the conflicted administrator), (2) protecting their own billing stream (3) ignoring their duty to due process and the court.  These responses are a red flag. Conflicts must be addressed immediately, not at the end of administration.  By waiting to the end of the administration, it can be assured that rushed last minute extraneous legal fees will be added without time to vet them properly. The beneficiaries just want the probate over with and are willing to let such behavior succeed that is provided that the beneficiaries even know they have been blindsighted. In my case there were 597 pages of expenses to audit before me a few days before the passing of accounts hearing and although I asked for an adjournment it was denied me by the administrator, the beneficiaries, and the public guardian and trustee. I want to know what the administrator, the beneficiaries, the lawyers and the public guardian and trustee are hiding.  What hidden agreements that I was not privy to, and now I suffer the consequence of losing my modest inheritance.  Secret deals are not allowed, but they have happened, and considering I do not have the resources of a legal body like the RCMP to investigate what was hidden and why affidavits were half truths. One issue was there were seven estate settlement agreements, where are they.  Why wasn't I included.
