Hi, Thank you so much for the webinar. I have a concern regarding my deposit. My contract ended, and I provided my forwarding address, but I have not yet received my deposit back. Yesterday, I received a notification that my landlord is taking me to dispute resolution, claiming I didn’t allow showings of the house and that I owe one month’s rent due to the loss of rental income. I did allow showings; the landlord completed one and canceled the other. Despite this, she kept both my security and pet deposits. Given these circumstances, can I claim double the amount of my deposit since I should have received it back? Thank you for your assistance.

The woman who narrates this video sounds like she is talking to a 10 year old, or even a 5 year old. She is excessively slow, soft and gentle. It is fine to talk slow and clear, but as everyone watching this is an adult, she does not have to gently baby-sit them.

Thanks so much for this. Is it different when comparing a leasehold property to a strata property, for probate? Are there other factors I need to consider?

The form you show is not the one at the Supreme Court website

Does a house need an appraisal for Form P10?

Hy, if landlord refuse tenant security deposit after RTB decision.. what’s the next step for tenant.

What about filling out p9?

$50/month for 5 months is only $250 = half the amount owing.... Am I the only person who noticed this in 13 years??

Thank you for your great probate video, it is very helpful. Is it correct in looking at form P2 drop down, that there are about 30 probate registries that I can submit my application? Can this be done by mail or only in person? Thank you

What if asked for the instructions to what should I do with the car when I go to the mechanic, but the seller told me I don't have to do anything, except change the oil, as shown on the sticker from the mechanic? On the second day right headlight stopped working, low/high beam switch stopped working, there was a leak (also asked couple of times what was the reason for the leak, but got ignorance of the question) which led to the ovearheating on the third day, as a result a need of a costy repair of 50% min of the initial price? And the car became undrivable? It was said by the seller, that he went to the mechanic recently and changed the oil, but nothing and never was mentioned about the leak and possible consequences of such a system failure? Can I somehow make him pay for the repair or get the money back?

What are some strategies people have used to check if the landlord, who said they are going to move in, actually do move in and not putting the place up for rent?

Thank you for uploading these! They are incredibly helpful. More people should know this stuff.

Hi can I send me vote as a ballot for our upcoming AGM directly to Strata Co-operation rather than the person that is suggested on the Proxy Form?

Hello, i have a tenant that came in a sub-lease and was not properly screened. We have gone through months trying to evict him and were granted a Order of possesion, monetary order from RTB as well as a mutual agreement to end tenancy initiated by the tenant in exchange for not doing an expedited eviction. Still the tenant didn't leave on the day, so we had to hire expensive baliffs and before they finished loading up the tenant's rented uhaul truck based, he went to Supreme court to obtain a stay order based on his petition to us and RTB that he was under duress. He showed the court baliffs who had to stop the eviction and give him the brand new keys and now they are back inside my new townhome with another month of no rent, he has not complied with any of the orders from RTB. I had an agreement to rent to a nice responsible kind family and would like to know what to do now as I am completely at my wits end at how tenants can get away with all of this and implicating so many people in the process, tons of strata fines, neighbour complaints, new tenants can't move in, financial hardships to the landlords who have to cover month after month of late and unpaid rent, baliff costs, etc etc. WHY? Landlords are hard-working responsible law-abiding citizens and why are we expected to provide free housing that we cannot collect on because tenants don't have the money to pay. So many landlords getting out of the business due to this very reason further contributing to the housing crisis.

Great information. 👍🏼

Hi, the information seems really clear but I'm not able to find the forms you are using. Can you guide me to a link for the forms you are using? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the clear and calm help - it makes a onerous task achievable with confidence.

We are continually having Bullying and harrasment courses thrown down our throats but when we were bullied into having to participate in an experimental medical procedure to keep our jobs the bullying and threats for that by the organisation was condoned and the employees had no say.

it would be great if one could print out the forms!

IMO, buying a car privately is much cheaper and no more riskier than buying a vehicle from a dealership. In many cases the dealers have pooled together to force fees and add-ons that end up costing 20% to 30% more than the retail price, so you are going to pay too much.. and much more than the insurance will pay if you were to write it off in an accident. The dealership also usually pays much less than the wholesale price for a trade--in; that is usually about 20% less than wholesale price. By buying a used vehicle privately it is not unusual to buy a perfectly good vehicle for 25% to 50% cheaper than buying from a dealer, and the seller is doing better than trading it in at the dealership. I've been buying privately for years. I have never had a problem in 45 years of buying used vehicles from private sellers. I have saved thousands of dollars. NEVER buy a used car from a dealer; you are bound to get ripped off. Due to the rip-off wholesale price that the dealers are offering for the trade-in, a private seller is very happy to get a reasonable and better wholesale price from a private buyer, as he is able to secure more money in his pocket. Just take the vehicle for a drive, and have it looked at by a mechanic before you buy it. Dealers are crooked middlemen that are well trained to rip you off. There's a lot of illegal activity in the auto industry; stay away from them.

He told me he spent all the money on bills when I asked for my money back

On the probate forms themselves, you might notice a few spots where you're instructed *not* to write "not applicable." In these instances, you should clearly state *why* the question or paragraph doesn't apply to you, rather than leaving the answer blank or writing "nil" or "N/A.

Are beneficiary's able to see the p10 before the final statement of accounts?

Hi. Sounds simple to hire a professional executor, however, unless you're a multi millionaire, they are not interested. Very frustrating...

loved it

If you are getting a lawyer, does the lawyer file for grant of probate on the executor’s behalf? If yes, do you put the lawyer as the applicant on the P1 form or the executor’s?

If my brother and I are both named as executors and we are both the only beneficiaries, do we need to complete a P1 form?

I successfully obtained a Grant of Probate recently by following the steps laid out in your videos and on your website. I can't thank you enough for making the process accessible. It all went smoothly and quickly, and for the fraction of the cost, once I wrapped my head around it. So grateful. 💕

Does this form have to be included in the Probate submission application

Good day thank you for this helpful information. I have a question with regards to the mutual agreement to end tenancy. If someone signs this agreement and decides to leave early by providing a 30 day notice to vacate (tenant written) is this considered valid? For example if there is a mutual agreement signed in February 1 2022 to end Sep 1 2022 but then in July 1 2022 the tenant decides to provide a 30 day notice to vacate to the landlords to leave at the end of that month. As a landlord what are your options. Thank you very much in advance for the advice.

if a person dies without a Will. They had no spouse and no children. Parents and grandparents are predeceased. There are 5 living siblings and 1 predeceased sibling. Question: does the predeceased sibling receive their share? If so does it pass to their estate and distributed according to their will?

Do you know if there are trust companies on Vancouver island?

What are my options if I have no one to be my executor now.What do you mean by a TRUST company?

Today I had somebody commit verbal slander against my person and it hurt my feelings greatly and I'm not interested in their money but I do think they need to watch this webinar and it needs to be dealt with internally thank you for the legal advice and the perfect definition of deprivation of a person's character since character hopefully they don't add written verbal slander of my character to the verbal slander that they made in the hallway when making a mockery of Justice and affecting my reputation And trying to say I should be charged with mischief giving me a criminal record which would affect my livelihood as I want to take the basic law enforcement course which I also explained to that person in policing

What happens if a toilet overflows and damages other units during normal use no negligence who is responsible tenant landlord or Strat?

Thanks a lot for the information! I have a Question. Can a landlord give a 30-day notice to the tenant to move-out in BC without giving any reason on why the landlord is serving the notice?I live in vancouver and lately my property manager hasn’t been liking to fix maintenance issues in my apartment and today he told me I can move-out if I don’t like living in this apartment and the fact that owners of the apartment don’t like spending 100s of dollars to fix maintenance issues, my owners live overseas. I told him I like to live in this apartment, it’s just that the maintenance issues need to be resolved and he didn’t like it. So just on the basis of owners not liking to fix maintenance issues, can they serve me a move-out notice? My 1-year lease got over few months ago and now I live in the apartment on a month-to-month basis. Thanks ahead of time for your response!

Props to this lawyer!!!! I will be quoting his answer about trust and the toxic environment in my oral review tomorrow.

Wow this is amazingly helpful by all the guests and the questions asked by the moderator. Amazing

For property, do you list the full value of the property such as what is listed on the BC Assessment, or ONLY the deceased’s share of the property?

this is great thank you! how does a person know what forms to fill out?

What if you are the sole beneficienary and you dont want the executors to be the executors? The executors have been dishonest and not in good faith and cooperative with the family who they were caring for and the beneficiearies? Can you challenge the executors ? How much cost and time would be to proceed with this issue? The executors can take a 5 percent commision being the executors I was told. If the beneficiercy does the executorship then it is cheaper except the lawyer costs?

I love you guys. Beautiful website.

Nice webinar. Thanks. Would be good to see similar for all the torts
