curves2000 · 08-29-2023, 02:06 AM

Hello CP'ers,

I asked this question about a year ago but I can't find the post or the thread it was being discussed in.

Long story short, I am looking for some options for assisting with an deceased family friend's estate. Nobody will step up as he had only a few elderly immigrant friends and their English is poor.

Probably $10k or less in assets, no will, no children or relatives in Canada but I was able to track down a few relatives in Australia.

I have a lot of his paperwork, ID, passport. I can try and assist where possible and the family overseas is willing to help out too.

I don't want to drown in paperwork or an executor's job here. Can any the CP legal minds provide any advice on this? Any places do pro-bouno work for low income people?

Thanks in advance,
