Estate Dispute Resolution Steps

Summary

In Saskatchewan, if a tenant has lived in a property for less than six months, the ORT cannot approve a property disposition. If you were not notified about a hearing, it may have denied you the chance to represent the estate. Unauthorized sale of a car and disposal of belongings without inventory are serious issues. Consider appealing the ORT decision, filing a police report for theft, and consulting a lawyer specializing in estate law. The landlords actions, including withholding the security deposit, may be challenged legally. If your mother also had an estate in the USA, it may require separate legal proceedings. Consider seeking legal advice to explore options for contingency-based representation.

Key Concerns *. Jurisdiction Issue: My mother lived in the apartment for only 45 days. According to Section * of The Residential Tenancies Act, the ORT cannot approve a property disposition unless the tenant had lived there for at least six months *. No Notification: I was never told about the hearing, which denied me the chance to represent my mother’s estate. *. Sale of Her Car: The landlord sold my mother’s car without permission from the estate. The $*,* reported from the sale is far less than the car’s actual value. *. No Inventory of Belongings: The landlord disposed of my mother’s belongings without taking inventory, leaving us unable to account for or recover their value. *. Security Deposit Withheld: The landlord kept her security deposit, even though all rent was paid in full.
