<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">For everyone who was in Vancouver this past weekend. Thank you for your conversations and questions surrounding the new probate for profit law that takes effect on June 11. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">For those not in the room - one of the things discussed is that we know this bill will need revisions and work. I request that if you encounter issues in your matters - please stay in touch. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Until we get some caselaw, I will be proceeding forward with all Sub-3 PR's with extreme caution and absolute disclosure to the Court. I mentioned in the talk that I already have my first client
who is caught under these new rules. 44 years with the same person, no documents (I know, I know) - owned home with Deceased as TIC. Only heir is a half-sister out of state that has been estranged from the family for 26 years. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">These facts were already going to be potentially complex, borerling messy/ugly. Now under this new law it is going to be much more lengthy and expensive even if I can get the half-sister to agree
to the world as my client wants it to be. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

have worked well to be in the presentation. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
