 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.
