Well, here's a potentially interesting development regarding my $130,000 collection enforcement against financial fugitive and flight risk Patrick "Dragon Fire Nexus Quintuple Threat" Ross, and if there are any actual legal beagles in the audience, feel free to weigh in.
I have a copy of the registry title for the Lloydminster property that is Casa Ross (the residence of the late Ken Ross), and I'm open to people who understand this stuff interpreting what it means. I will paraphrase as I don't want to jeopardize any possible legal proceedings I might want to start, but the description of the property lists each of the four Ross siblings (Patrick included) as "a personal representative for the estate of Kenneth Edward Ross," and concludes that section, describing the collection of them as "the registered owners, as joint tenants of Surface Parcel [redacted]."
So what does this mean? Well, it first seems to mean that the part of the will related to that property has not been executed so it's still not clear what's happening to it.
The more interesting part (and I am only speculating here and open to proper legal guidance) is that all four siblings are listed as "registered owners, as joint tenants," which conceivably means that all four of those squalling brats were given a share of the property, whose disposition is yet to be settled. But as the title clearly lists all four as "registered owners," that suggests to me that Patrick officially owns a share of that property, and I have already asked actual lawyers to look into whether, based on Patrick's debt to me, I can walk in and file a claim against at least his share.
Stay tuned, and I will check if I can post the entire title verbatim so that others can examine it more thoroughly, but the fact that Patrick is listed as one of the registered owners seems promising.
ADDENDUM: Responding to first anonymous commenter as to how this would work, again, I am not a lawyer so I don't have an answer to that, but let me speculate wildly.
First, it is extremely encouraging to see that the title lists all four siblings as "registered owners"; this suggests that, regardless of the eventual disposition of that property, all four would seem to need to share in the proceeds of any such disposition. So what are the possibilities?
If the siblings agree that the house should go to just one of the kids, that would normally mean that person would buy out everyone else's share. Well, if part of that buyout represents a share going to Patrick, it only makes sense that I should be able to file to claim that part of the buyout.
On the other hand, if the plan is to sell the property outright and split the proceeds, then, again, there would be a share going to Patrick that I should be able to seize. The fact that Patrick is listed on the title as a "registered owner" suggests pretty strongly that there is something there I can file to take, given his massive debt to me.
I am handing this off to the lawyers, and letting them advise me accordingly, but this looks like it has potential in the sense of my being able to tie up the disposition of the house until I get my share based on what Patrick owes me.
