How much is it to talk to a lawyer. Ontario. I want to do the claim on my own but I need the advice of a lawyer It’s for

Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

Please note that I am working from my computer and not actually texting. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.

Finally, although the site offers a call option I personally do not take calls but just work online. Some find this confusing as it looks like the offer is coming from me but that is just how the site presents the offer and it really isn’t coming from me. Some of the other experts do take calls and so you are very welcome to request a call on this post and an expert may take it. They will have the benefit of reading our exchange which should work out very well for everyone involved!

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

You can speak to the FRO about this and you also can file a claim with the estate.

You should speak to the FRO first because you aren't allowed to enforce the support if the FRO is doing it.

Does that help as a starting point?

You can file a claim to the estate by providing it to the executor and then if that doesn't work you have to sue the estate.

Then send the claim to them. That could work well!

Yes you do. And then perhaps you follow up with a phone call a week later.

Well they can see that there's no estate and so no one wants to apply to administer the estate. However, depending on how much they have for him it may very well be the case that you should be applying if your daughter if she is a minor because your daughter is going to inherit the rest of that money if she's the next of kin right?

She should speak to that law firm and see what the terms of the settlement as perhaps their money goes to her.

Otherwise she can apply on her own to administer the estate but it's not going to be easy.

Your daughter should contact the law firm. She should explain that she is the next of kin and the only one that would inherit if there's anything left. She should ask what the terms of the settlement are and whether she is going to be getting that money without applying to administer the state.

I'm not so sure that they will provide you with the forms but I can find them for you.

This is what you need. They tell you what to do and part way down the forms are there.
