My brother (5)

 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.  

My brother (4)

 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.

My brother (3)

 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.

My brother (2)

 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.  

My brother

 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.

Fox in a henhouse.

Jenny's appointment as administrator was akin to putting a fox in a henhouse.

Finally.

 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.
