Practical, real-world information about wills, estates, inheritance, executors, and elder law in Canada
My dad passed. There happened to be 10k. I have not seen my brother for a while. He was in the bush under a tarp last time two years ago. I have heard of him to be still residing in the bush at this time. Other than no address, no computer, or no phone. It's impossible to find him. Another thing is I don't feel good about his mental capacity or addiction to alcohol. Any info would be helpful. Thank you Pat
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
DeleteYou didn't say why you are looking for your brother, but I'll assume he is a beneficiary of your father's estate. I suggest that you contact the Office of the Public Trustee for your province and ask them if they would represent him as a missing beneficiary. This would result in you being able to pay his share to them to hold onto, so you don't have to keep the estate open forever while you look for him.
