Can I Challenge My Parents’ Handling Of My Grandma And Aunt’s Wills In Ontario? Have Handwritten Notes Showing Distributions

Hey there,

My parents recently gave me a box of old documents from my childhood, including report cards and other things. They didn’t realize that at the bottom of the box were notes about the distribution of funds from my grandma and aunts’ passing.

My grandma and aunt passed away in 2016, and no one actually received any money. We weren’t concerned because we didn’t expect anything. However, I found these notes and they revealed some troubling information.

My mom was the executor of the estate and independently decided who would receive what. For example, these notes show that she gave her younger brother, my uncle, nothing and actually took his share.

I brought this up to my parents and siblings, and they basically disowned me. I’m surprised that no one is concerned about this. It also shows that they gave a few “friends” almost $700,000 in low-interest mortgages. I’m sure my grandma and aunt didn’t want that.

I’m at a loss about what to do. Will someone look into this based on the outcome?
