THIS IS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF, TRUE.
Andrew MacMillan was to find the documents (Beef) for the Supreme Court of BC in Nanaimo to prove he and sister Jurina had bought the house on Wilcox in Saltair, BC together in 1987. Andrew put $40,000 in and so did Jurina. Jurina was afraid that because of Andrew's business ventures and investments, they might lose the house if things went wrong, so Andrew wasn't on the Deed. Andrew did however pay the utilities, do the repirs nd paid the taxes. They had reciprocal wills. If Andrew died, Jurina was to get his 50%, If Jurina died, Andrew was to get Jurina's 50%.
Instead Jurina got involved with the Arbutus Hiking Club, her friend McWhirter had a lawyer - daughter, Jennifer McCormick and they induced Jurina to make a secret will, giving Andrew a life interest in his OWN HOME, with the remainder of Jurina's "estate" to be left to The SPCA! Jurina was 10 years older than Andrew and acted very overbearing to Andrew on the few times I saw them together in 1995.
This is how lawyers build their "practices", by being named the executor. Imagine Andrew's shock when one week after his sister died, on a Saturday morning, McCormick showed up with a female RCMP officer to "keep the peace" and remove some old rifles that McCormick indicated she was "afraid" Andrew might use when he found out the purpose of the visit. She hit (served) Andrew with the "new will", told him to read it, while she headed straight to Jurina's master bedroom and scooped all the documents, jewelry, insurance policies and gold there. Andrew was still in shock at Jurina's death, now he found out what Jurina's death bed confession and apology meant. McCormick told Andrew, "Just like you used to listen to Jurina, now you'll have to listen to me!"
The house was in dire need of a new roof and a new furnace. Andrew had no choice but to continue the upkeep of the house, so he contracted with Sears to do the work. When he presented the bills to McCormick for payment, she refused. TO BE CONTINUED...
Andrew, you're sadly missed by Annamie, I and on Tuesdays, at the KFC in Ladysmith! RIP dear friend.
