A Life Below the Poverty Line. The Future

The sum of $1500 is very symbolic. This is a sum that is below the poverty line.  People who see the sum alone could have the mistaken conception that I am dedicated to a life of poverty.  I live with a severe catholic order so this a very real danger.

Second of all I accept this sum I must live without even the social welfare system to bear witness to what will happen. I am to relay on the judgement of my brother and people who I do not know, who remain anonymous.  Which as you see have already been none too generous with the partitioning of the will. 

They have decided, (him and my mother), that I will have the money, guaranteed, to live way below today’s poverty line, without being indexed for inflation, for all the years of my life. This is Dependant on his generosity only. I will have nothing else from the estate that I can use according to my will. Unless I discuss with my brother.  At this time I refuse to do it.

 
He, however, can do whatever he likes. I have no say at all what happens with anything that remotely resembles "my half".

 

I wonder if it’s legal to provide a "pension" before the poverty line.

Dear Friend,

 

This blog article is a philosophical gift from me to you.  Free.

 

Are there many more articulate, highly educated people who are victims on the poverty line?  If there are, or if it is just me, than this is very wrong. 

 

So....you don`t have to pay a dime!

The Signing of Documents

The Power of Attorney

So two weeks later, yesterday, we met: my brother, his wife, my mother and me. Finally they named the document they want me to sign. It was the Power of Attorney. It says my brother can administer my affairs without asking me and take and receive things for me without my knowledge.

There were several documents to be signed.  

My brother and I are estranged but I am functionally mute and do not have a single other person to do this.  The Public Curator site says over and over that becoming a ward of the estate should only be used as a last resort. Seeing no choice and I sign the power of attorney to my brother and his wife.

The Conditions of My Mothers Will

This is not all. The surprise is at that meeting my mother comes up with her will.  These are the terms.

My brother and his wife will be left the city house and I am sure everything in it.  All the valuable, antiques etc... This is a huge part of the estate.  They already have many thing including the two cars (my fathers was brand new) and everything they want in the house.  It was very expensively filled at the time of my father’s death.  Nothing at all has come to me.

 The estate will then be divided equally between me and by brother.  (The country house, the business the industrial building and the monies and whatever else).  

I will be given to live off every month a pension of $1500.00 to be regulated by my brother. The rest of the money is to be put in trust and I cannot touch it.  At the end of my life it will go to his children.

The money will be invested by a stock broker. If the investments go up the monthly sum will go up.   What needs are deemed essential will be regulated by my brother.  This a large sum of $300,000.00 if I live 30 years.

 

I took a long time to curse them roundly.

Prologue to the Reading of My Mother’s Will

Link:

prologue-to-reading-of-my-mothers-will.html

 Two weeks ago my brother and I had the first meeting with the notary to discuss my brother taking care of my affairs in case anything happened to me.  It was to be a basic signing a document, so that he could do things like pay the rent if I got sick. Or pay any outstanding bills.

 He said write all your questions down so that the notary could answer them.

So I come with eight carefully phrased questions.  This little paper which took me all of eight minutes to read, took the whole two weeks to compile and still was not finished. I was afraid.

 Unfortunately my questions were deemed inappropriate to the paper I was to sign.

I really had no desire to sign any such document since my brother has been steadily saying he would not give me a thing if he handled the estate.  Also I have been told to think very carefully before I give such an important power to someone else.

 The notary would make up the document and we had to meet again to sign it. She offered to meet me alone but I said it is not necessary. I have nothing to hide. My brother said he wanted my mother to come at the same time for some business of her own and we arranged to meet.

The Family Unit when Life is Cheap

I come from a very violent community in which homemakers were killed very frequently and the children were kept alive for cheap labor.  So what happens to the family unit.
To be a homemaker, first you have to have a well functioning, fully equipped home.  Even if you die that will still remain.  If you die, then legally everything will be litigated most of the time and all the stuff in the house will be split up and mostly sold very cheaply or, more likely, given away.
What will be forfeited will be the whole complex collection of articles that make up a complete family home.  You might be able to sell the home but functionally all the furniture, cosmetics, clothes, kitchen supplies, etc.. will be simply be put back on store shelves.

The home will be empty once again.  You have to find people who have the money to equip it.
To a poor community, a fully equipped house is much for valuable than an empty one.  The richer the house the better.  All you have to do is find someone who is renting who you like and they can move in and having every thing organized and fully equipped.  For no money except what is not paid.  Which the houses were bought.

The problem of course is that you have to report in regularly to the government somehow as the people who own and bought the house.  If they were murdered, and the community wants the house and the person who owns it to function as fast as possible they have to imitate the family unit.

In other words, if there  were a mother, a father and a child then there should be at the very least the same three people. (even if others take their place).  Yes these things can be changed but meanwhile everything is functioning well and a good community member has access to a much better living arrangement than he or she could pay for.  But they have to make up a surrogate family unit.

On the surface this seems okay because three poorer people get a quick and easy upgrade to their standard of living.  the problem is that there is very rarely an exact replica of the people who died.

Thus within what seems to be a cohesive family unit you might have very fierce competing.  As a matter hidden within this structure it is my experience you have bloodthirsty attacks that have to be hidden from all authorities including child administrators, the police and the mayor as well as the neighbors.  And this is a very dangerous and painful thing for the people who are in the unit as well as the community.  If you are a very young child, as I was, it means that you are in for a lot of horror and grief as your parents change into something incomprehensible and strange.  Because they are actually other people and you are too small to see this.

My Brother's judgement and the Poverty Line

I moved into this pavilion in September 1999.  At the time I was horrified.  I am naturally unable to speak and the place is not only very big it is full of international travellers.  I was told from the outset I would not be heard.  The women who run the place have their own mandate in their mind and I would be left to myself.  Chronically so.

I expected this.  I had lived in a group home before and the way I avoided social isolation was to always go out I society.   As much as I could I drank in the Montreal cultural scene. I did this until I literally started dying and then I was told to stop or I would lose everything.  This is a period about fifteen years.

At the time, I also was instrumental as a resident, in starting a very important meal making program.  The sophistication of the meals became so important that finally a social worker from the CLSC wanted to move into our half way house.  This was a very great compliment.

I also never stopped volunteering my time to help social concerns.  I worked in a food bank and with seniors.  In retrospect, although this move is popular with the authorities that handle my case, and they are very important in what they do, I feel this is a fatal mistake.  The only people that care about my life are people who do not place an importance in anything but unpaid social concerns for someone on a social solidarity pension.  Rather than get rewarded I have been placed in the first place that feeds me properly and after a while leaves me unmolested from bodily attacks. 

However I was told, as I said before, that my personal wellbeing will be studiously ignored.  Not only that the right to live and work as I choose and the right to be paid will be taken away.  This has come through with a vengeance.

The last time I started writing letters like this was the time of my father’s death.  He left me very little except promises that I would be well kept care of upon the death of my mothers.  And several pairs of his pajamas and ties.  The pajamas and ties I distributed to the cultural communities I frequented.  I d o not remember all of them but a large amount of ties went to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. I had chosen them and one of the ties was a yellow silk one, I remember that was near the start of the Nagano era.  I also gave a pair of pajamas to the Centaur theatre.

As I said the trouble is coming to be very grave.  I have been on a solidarity pension my whole life.  I have state that t family that uses the Fabian name is not the original members of my family.  These people, and there are many of them now, have taken everything, including the name they left me with, and have beaten me many times.  So many times have I been beaten and forced to take mind-dimming medication, I did not even have the energy to say anything until now.

Despite the terrible isolation I knew would encounter in a home run by this order, I have been eating steadily and sleeping without being disturbed for years. So I have a tiny computer and I take my pen in hand to write my problem to you.

My father died a few years ago and my mother died with him.  Now there is another woman who has the name and has lived in the house that was the Fabian house.

I have said I am on a solidarity pension.  It is about half the sum of the amount of money that one would get if one was living on the poverty line.   When my father died, he had increased the money so that I could live in my current residence comfortably and with the very basic dignity the distinguished order demands.  Taking this into account, it is very difficult to even have the most basic comforts.  I regret and resent this greatly.

I would like to have several things verified.

I am on a social solidarity pension of $927.00 a month and receive a shelter allowance and a social solidarity subsidy of $80.00 each.  All this covers roughly the total of my room and board.

To even be able to communicate to anyone at all I have this computer on which I am writing.  As I stated I have lived with order for years and I cannot accept their teachings.  For extra food and clothing, any kind of entertainment, and personal grooming I receive money from the people who state they are my family.  The only frequent contact I have with these people is every two weeks with the man who states he is my brother Leslie Fabian.  He refuses to do any kind of socializing. He will not break bread with me at the table.  I meet him sitting at a restaurant. It is an hour journey there and back to my brother’s neighborhood where I must go to get the money.  He refuses to make the transactions above board and place it regularly in the bank.  For this reason the whole affair is done clandestinely. So much so I have often wondered why he does this in the first place. 

I have often been told that as a single woman with no family I should work for my brother’s family as a maid.  Seeing the brutal treatment that I have received from them and their community I see only a future of unpaid, and anonymous bondage, contempt so much so that I am afraid that what little is left of my identity will be stolen.  As a university graduate and a life-long resident of Montreal I would make a great illegal alien.  So again, I take pen in hand because the matter has come to a head.

I have been read my mother’s will (I am refused a copy by the public notary for a reason that I do not know).  It states that I will be entitled from the family estate a pension of $1500 a month for life. This is a solid sum unindexed to inflation and as I write below the poverty line.

My brother has told me that if I accept this fund I will not be able to have a social solidarity cheque.  If I refuse to accept this sum which will be adjusted according to my brother’s conscience then I will not receive any more supporting money from the family estate.  Which means that I will have only the government pension to live on.  Not only that this will be cut drastically when I reach retirement age, very soon.

The will also states that the estate will be divided completely in half except for my parents’ house in the city (and ally snide it).  This will be left to my brother.  The house and all the possessions and my mother’s jewels are worth I believe about $500,000.00.

When I protested about the meagreness of the amount that I would live off of, he said that if I calculate the total sum for thirty years (a lifetime) it will be about $300,000.00 which is a great deal of money.

It is actually much less than my brother is receiving when he gets the house and then there will not only be money but the rest of the estate for him. 

The estate is supposed to be divided equally.  This is what my father said.

So the two questions I have are;

If I remain on welfare in protest, will I not have any money from the estate or the family to be given to me?   Will the scant money they give me now (to live near the poverty line) be taken away?  Will I have to be deprived of much more when I reach retirement?

In other words do I have no choice but to take a meagre sum from a family that does not respect my wishes, that are brutal aggressors and that  do not believe are my family in the first place?

My Brother and the Mandate with the Violence Clause.

2014-09-23

An institution

I have been put into the homeless situation since adulthood.  People assume that I am happy with this arrangement and there is no attempt to change the situation. So displeased I am with this situation that I am afraid to speak out about it. An S the daughter of a real estate agent this has caused me enormous embarrassment and pain.  This is one situation that I am working to change this situation

My collection

The institutions that I have been placed in believe in personal poverty. They place no importance on material possessions such as art and design.   . Since I live in my miniscule living working studio all articles take up important space. So loss is routine., personal effects are thrown out, articles of decoration, linen, clothes and jewels all are distributed to unknown people

I am unable to accept an inheritance from my parents such as my father’s music tapes and my mother’s photographs.   The same is true for a complex estate of valuables and my own fairly large collection of art.

Can I demand with the mandate access to a real estate agent to start a research for me a secure place with the possibilities of keeping and nurturing an art collection and a household?

Different social Standing

Not married so I am used exploited as a member of my brothers family

 (His children and his wife are not my immediate family) and I am to give all my assets to his family as a substitute for the family that I do not have.  This is a very dangerous thing for a single woman.

Funds to go to Place des Arts

When my father was alive I was given funds to go to Place des Arts to enjoy the performances and also to:

a.       Stop my social isolation

b.      Stop being too immersed in poverty

When my father died he said that there would always be money for me to continue this.  However, I was, at that time, forced to stop due to health reasons. (Problems of proper nutrition, transport, and rest before a demanding performance. A large part remains unused by myself.

 

The money being properly regulated

1.       Can the mandate include a Claus that will regulate the money left for Place des arts, to ensure its continued use by myself, and automatically indexed to inflation?

2.        Can the unused monies for this fund (since my father’s death) be used retroactively?

Controlling medication

You can also leave instructions in the mandate for council to restrict the use of painful, controlling drugs and actively look into long term residences. now, before any trouble.

The Division of the Family Estate

I would like access to a financial council handling my part of the family affairs.

I would like how the estate will be equally divided between my brother and me to be clearly regulated and defined on a written contract.

I would like included how the estate is distributed between my brother and myself so that it is equally beneficial to both of us while living and able.

If the brother has use of the houses and they are in no way beneficial to me personally then I would like to be financially compensated. 

Can this be stated in the mandate?

Regulating past financial problems

 If my brother has in the past taken money from the family estate for himself or other members of his family, than this money should be returned and with interest.

If my brother or any part of his extended family has aided and abetted another person to take a significant amount of the family estate, like stocks and bonds, than this should be returned and with interest.

If my brother or any part of his extended family, coerced by an unnamed violent criminal, has taken by force, money destined for me,,  and split it between this themselves, than this should be returned and with interest.

How will this change if I sign a mandate?  Can the situation be used to engage a financial counsel for myself to deal with situations such as this?  

Preventing future attacks

The past attacks by family members and the high level of competiveness among family members can only lead me to assume and seeing, unless controlled, will occur again. Especially if money is involved.  

My name since childhood has been Kathy Vivian Fabian but the family that has used the name for decades did not have this name.  Our relationship is not based on deep family roots

The attacks on myself for personal gain by surrogate family members include:

·         Being brainwashed to accept these people as my family members with the family name.

·         Kidnappings to maximum security prisons in the USA

·         An attempt to confine me in room until I starve to death.

 

1.       Can a mandate include regulations to deal with any incidences of this in the future?

2.       Can the will have a clause on the event of any violent attack whether successful or not, perpetuated on me by a family member of a supporter of the family.

 

As a notary you have access, to a list

As a notary, I understand that you have access, to a list that states the name of my father’s notary at the time his last will was read. Ca you give me the name of his notary so that I can request, as a named beneficiary, a copy of the will for myself?

Regulating the Division of the Estate

I would like to have each year a copy of the company’s annual audit as a part owner of this company.  I would also like to have an official record of the exact value of the assets that I am entitled to and this on a bi-yearly or quarterly basis.  I would like to have a biannual patrimonial report: a report that states any changes or improvements on the person who has the mandate controlling my affairs in case of trouble. I would like the name and address of the financial institution that handles the company’s assets and safety deposit box of family assets.  I would like a list of the value of the factory in St. Henri, The cost of repairs in the two houses and any merchandise that is part of the estate.

1.       I would like to have a replacement named to replace the holder of the mandate in case of problems...

As the beneficiary of a large estate I would like the problem with my homelessness and possession less o be actively rectified.

Issues to Resolve about the Inheritance

About the heirs

When my father died a few years ago He said that there is a will.  There will be an estate to be divided equally amongst the two heirs: myself and my brother.

 

My brother manages the estate. He is the only one that I speak to about this matter.

He refuses to estimate how much I will inherit when mother dies.   Unnamed experts would invest the money and if they made a lot I would live off more and if they lost I would live off less... Beyond the fact that his family is wealthier, there is a definite conflict of interest between my brother, his extended family and myself as to how much of the inheritance I am entitled to. I fear he will divide the estate very badly for me because he is wealthier and he deserves more paid for privileges.  This is unjust.

Through education and learning

I have also been denied the many things that were considered mine through education and learning in my parents’ house.  How about seasonal acquisition of good affordable new clothes? I have no access to cars, and no office for my work.  My father sold houses for a living and eventually had a very sophisticated housing arrangement with two beautifully furnished homes. What about a place to live that I enjoy? The shelter I live in have no need for beauty and design.  Every day I look at the mismatched old furniture and it tears at my heart of an artist and the daughter of a man who made his living from selling homes.

A woman’s shelter

I live in a woman’s shelter. I pay by the month with no lease and no protection. Will I have to leave to go into utmost poverty and instability because whoever takes responsibility for me thinks it is "too expensive there is a question of the amount of money that I have day to day.  It is very hard to go far from the place where I live because I have almost no lunch money.  What about entertainment money? I have not been on a good and safe vacation for years.  

Medical care

I do not have the funds to go to many specialists: proper dentist care, eye doctor, a dermatologist, an ear, nose and throat specialist, a bone specialist, dietician, a financial planner.  What about my psychiatrist? My injured legs are uncured, Will he be paid when my mother passes away?   I have not the means to treat some painful injuries.

To conclude,

At fifty six years old the need to make plans for my retirement is pressing.  I would like access to a better living arrangements, an office. Access to an excellent communications, information and publishing system for my artwork. Access to vacations. I would like to eventually move to a better residence, and have the ability to increase my income and lifestyle by myself.

. My psychiatrist of over twenty years says as an heir, I have a right to have a copy of the will. Practically as a handicapped person, to avoid problems, the issue has to be researched and for this I have to know how much money we are talking about with the estate.

Contrasting Brother and Me

Beyond the fact that his family is wealthier, there is a definite conflict of interest between my brother, his extended family and myself as to how much of the inheritance I am entitled to. He and his family travel to the United States, and beyond, private schools for his children, weekend expensive skiing trips, and many types of dental surgery which I am denied.  The problem is that I believe these are things that will be covered by the estate as necessities.

My needs, I fear will be considered quite the opposite. I know this through experience. I have also been denied the many things that were considered mine through education and learning in my parents’ house.  I have not been on a good and safe vacation for years.  How about seasonal acquisition of good affordable new clothes? What about my psychiatrist?  Will he be paid when my mother passes away?  What about a place to live that I enjoy?  Will I have to leave to go into utmost poverty and instability because whoever takes responsibility for me thinks it is "too expensive"? Will my brother and his family be given a much larger amount of the estate that is to be divided equally among only two heirs, because he has always been wealthier and because his needs are much more expensive than mine?  Will I not have recourse to the fundamental rights I have been denied up to this point for this reason?  Will my personal situation not be improved because I have “simple Needs”.  One of these simple needs is that I am perfectly happy living beyond the pale.  Another one is that I, even worse will be retired, from that very disgraced position.

My brother said he has a copy of the will.   I do not know where to go to get a copy as an heir.  The estate is to be divided upon my mother’s death equally between myself and my brother. My father said the sum is large enough for me to live much more comfortably than I do at this time.

My brother says there is no money at all and there will be no difference.

If my brother has uncontrolled access to the will and the management of our finances I do not see this in any way changing.  As a matter of fact the situation might conceivable worsen. He has often has threatened giving no financial support at all.

 

 

This Killer of an Estate Tax

Originally published before (date unknown)

There were two meetings on how the estate was to be divided.

But there was only one way the possessions were to be divided.  Of course there is this killer of an estate tax of 60% which means deep trouble for me.  I have a black hole of money.  Really.
Anyway I know that there are some ways around this tax  keeping in mind that the government would like the money to cover the taxes that the now defunct couple will not pay.
As an artist, for me, the most desirable thing is for the estate to remain intact enough for my artist credentials to have evidently been created very young in my parents home.  Or even before like in the ancestral estate that my mother comes from.  So I have been thinking a lot in that line.
I believe that this killer tax can be detoured into something fundamental like a foundation for charitable purposes.  Also, I know that there are some very gifted collectors of house estates in the suburbs.
Now one of the things that my father, a salesman, loved about Cote St.St. Luc was the very fact that it was hard to get to and hard to get around in.  This meant he could be left pretty much alone from talking to clients after hours.
So this meant that if you were a housewife, like my mother, you had find a way to occupy your time.  And a large amount of housewives found a lot of time and energy and talented way to collect and create a household.  For her friends there was a lot of serious reading and thinking time in company of the television.  they thought a lot so when they would had an occupation like a housewife, they would look for hobbies that would work with it,number one, like furnishing the house.  And number two, they would do a lot of reading about it.  the third dimension had to do with international travel and negotiations.  In this family multiculturalism was considered a gift and a prestigious one at  that.

So when she decided to decorate the house she combined all of these with time.  That mean, reading, spare time and multicultural negotiations. And she was not alone.
So going back to what kind of foundation could be created with the money destined for taxes. How about a museum created with the Fabian estate and dedicated to those in rather remote suburbs who are interested in the gentle art of housewiving and housekeeping?

Thats a thought.

As I write this I can see in my mind my brother shaking his head and hating the whole thing.  Why?  For the simple fact remains is that it is all very fine to talk of museums and foundations and the like. but how do we, the heirs, benefit from it?  It is going to be very time consuming and even more so if all the money and time goes into the rather complex of maintaining a living foundation and a museum to boot.

In other words, how do we turn this into a profitable venture without sacrificing our freedom?
This remains the question.

Another question is how do we, the heirs, truly benefit from the money left from the estate.  You see, if a lot of work is not done to preserve it then the government gets very little for it.  Because most people I know are more inclined to distribute to the poor and forget about it then doing once again, a lot of work for no reward.  And for a hostile tax to boot.  For the heirs that is.

I hate the idea of distributing it to the unfeeling unanomous.  So the question comes again how can this estate benefit me?

Aso for why there is an estate of possessions instead of fluid capital see the article Sixteen Million Dollars.  And besides, if there will be nothing left at least my parents could benefit from excellent possessions instead of counting money in the bank that they will not be using and none of their heirs will either.

Rights as an Heir

Originally Published 2014-(exact date unknown)

If I receive a certain sum of money than the sum is not used only for the benefit of others.  Second of all that the money should be used to help me cope with my disability and according to my will.

Is all this is considered not necessary because I am on a last resort financial assistance?  Does this mean that if I become a beneficiary of a family estate I will not benefit from this medical care? The estate is intact now and if I am under their responsibility are these denied to me? If I am under the jurisdiction of the public curator would this mean the same thing?

 

 

 

WorstCaseScenarios

 

Originally Published 2014 (date unknown)

When I reach sixty four my last resort financial assistance will be greatly reduced because I will be considered retired.  This is when these monetary issues become crucial.  But there are others as well.  Will I be forced to wear the whites of a pauper because I cannot afford to even buy my clothes?  Will I be subjected to being housebound because my untended injuries (like now)?  Will I have to choose between livings in a place run by a religion who I don’t not like or be forced to being victim to the brutal law of the street? (Because I am old and alone?)   Will I be denied a diet that is to my liking and to my wellbeing (as often I am now)?  Will I be denied the ability to speak (as I am now)?  Will I be denied right to live with the people who I respect, admire and act like?

All this to say, that at fifty six years old these are issues that should be dealt with immediately.

 Background

The reason I will state as to why I need a copy of the will is that the inheritance is in danger of being badly and quickly litigated.   Also as one of the two children I am named as an heir.

 The notary said that I needed my father’s social insurance number and birthday for a copy of the will. I went down to legal aid to make an appointment for a mandate: July 17, 2014 at 9:00.  He notary said I can get his services free of charge if I go through them. 

 Next Step

 July 24, 2014

I went down to Legal Aid for the mandate.  The day was very hot and I was very tired that morning. I could not concentrate very well and I was dizzy and confused.  I waited a scant twenty minutes in the waiting room for the person to review my application for a mandate that would cover the legal fees for the notary.  I could cover them myself but there were so many things to cover at least I thought I would try to get help with this.

 Finally a well dressed woman lead into a very beautiful office (compared to the Spartan places I had been in routinely).  She had a microphone, sat down at the desk and before talking to me started typing furiously.  She looked very important and confident.

 She asked what I wanted.  Now I had been working on a document, several documents in fact, so that I would come in there well prepared and if I was not clear when speaking would have a document to give to the lady.  I did none of these things.  I was afraid of rambling.  Instead I became tongue tied just answering the few questions the lady posed.  She was always courteous, always poised and I thought sympathetic. 

 After a few questions about who I was the lady stopped typing and was told it over.  I forget to as when I get the decision.  I left thinking the lady was a nice lady and she knew what she was doing.  I put in my calendar to go down in a week to see what happened.

 Well I didn’t have to make the extra trip. Six days later I got an official looking letter.  It said my application for the mandate was refused because the service wasn’t covered.  Neat, clean, efficient.  And again I am left nowhere brighter as to what will happen financially to me when my mother dies.

 As I left the office and reached the street corner there was loud screaming.  When I looked in that direction a white haired lady was laying in front of a car curled in a fetal possession.  Two well-dressed very young ladies came of the car to lift her up from the ground and check if she was okay.  Bad mistake.  They picked her up and she immediately started shrieking that the blind man with a cane  standing at the corner touched her obscenely between the legs. 

 As the two polite young ladies tried to calm she took a large swing at the man’s large coffee which flew everywhere in front of several startled women including myself.  I knew the woman, she had assaulted me several times. She is not unknown as violent and intoxicated on the street.  Unfortunately my voice took over and I started yelling at her to rot in hell.  It was then I figured I had better leave really fast and as I scurried away a small tough looking man starting screaming we should kill the blind man with the cane.

The woman might be Stevie Nicks or Stevie Ray Vaughn or both.  At least that’s what my voice said really out loud. With my luck she will be both and the person with my case in Legal aid.

 Anyways not to give up the next step is to call the Funeral home where my father was buried.  This is something that I am not looking forward to.

 Also I was told I need my father’s social insurance number and date of birth if I want a notary.  If I don’t have these it’s time to get a lawyer that can get them for me.

Background

The reason I will state as to why I need a copy of the will if I am asked is that the inheritance is in danger of being badly and quickly litigated.   Also as one of the two children I am named as an heir.

 The notary suggested by Legal Aid said that I needed my father’s social insurance number and birthday for a copy of the will. I went down to legal aid to make an appointment for a mandate: July 17, 2014 at 9:00.  He notary said I can get his services free of charge if I go through them. 

.Next Step

Cote St. Luc City hall didn’t have a copy of the will in their Public Documents.  The lawyer suggested I go to:

1. Etat Civil du QC to find my father’s social insurance number.

2. The Chamber of Notaries du Quebec. All notaries have on file who was my father’s notary was at the time of the will.

 

Called Rev. QC. On July 9, 2014   1-800-206-7218 op.3

A representative said to find my father’s social insurance number I need four documents;

1.     The original death certificate

Can get this from the funeral home or the province

 

2.    Original proof of identity

His. Canadian citizenship card or certificate

(At citizenship and immigration

 

 

3.    Proof of the estate

      Legal representative of the estate

       Proof of representation

      (Need a copy of the will or go to a lawyer with the other documents)

           

4.    Proof of my identity

Birth certificate, Medicare card, social insurance card

 

And after all this is done, go to Service Canada with the documents.
