Sharp Practice

 In my dealing with the lawyers on the estate, I knew they were doing "sharp practice" but I did not know that it is not allowed and I could lodge a complaint with the Law Society of BC.  

I am fed up with the thinking that the lawyers can psychologically harm you and I can't do anything about it.  Now I can.

The LSBC's Code of Professinal Conduct prohibits "sharp practice" -- tactics that take unfair advantage of another party's ignorance, mistake, or procedural vulnerability."  

What they did to me in October 2025 was calculated harm.  And when I asked for an adjournment as I was not prepared for the November 7 2025 hearing as I did not know I had to be prepared, they refused adding to my harm.  All of them were using a process where the outcome came without any accountability for use of a better word "mismanagement" of thousands and thousands of dollars, to protect their clients from scutiny but not to protect the beneficiaries who lost the benefit of those thousands and thousands of dollars  To reverse the wrong they did, would require an appeal. Who is going to pay $100,000 to a lawyer to make the PGT accountable for its mismanagement.  I am not sure what this is called maybe slight of hand but in their vocabulary I think they call it strategy.  I will never forget the horror of it. My belief in due process shattered.

I hate this double talk.  In estates stealing is never referred to as theft but rather misappropriation of funds.  In our culture of "no shame" misappropriation of estate funds is normal.  Why is it normal because there is no real enforcement. It is a fait complete. And the rot can be seen in every probated estate if you look for it.  

Ghosted

 This is what I said in an affidavit January 10 2025.  

I told the beneficiaries that if they want to gift Jenny the rents due and owing to the estate they could do it  from their share of their inheritances  Again, I was ghosted.  For me this isn't only about the money, it is about the unethical stealth way, the probate was being done.  I expected honesty from the beneficiaries and due process from the lawyers.  What I got was uncertainty, stress, and betrayal, distrust of the legal process, and the lost of all hope of any meangful reunion with family members going forward.  

Note: The rent covered 2.5 years.  It was for a 4,000 square foot home on 20 acres of land outstide of Kamloops (Dallas), a ranch (with a pool) that would keep horses.  There was an estate settlement agreement and the estate lawyer wanted all the beneficiaries to sign off as there was some urgency, a red flag. The estate settlement agreement was designed so the administrator did not have to pay rent.  The beneficiaries who signed the agreement thought it was okay because they just wanted their inheritance, even at a steep discount. And they did not even inquire what the rent should have been.  Buyer beware. The estate was being looted in plain sight. And the beneficiaries were duped.
