Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Canada

Re: can i contest

Yes. In Canada where there is no will found or where the will is for some reason invalid each province has an Act which distributes the property of the deceased person between or among the surviving relatives. In your case you have the right to apply to the Court to be appointed the Administrator of the estate and on the face of it you are entitled to receive half of whatever your Father owned when he died. It is also possible to claim property which is in another person's name (your brother's ? ) depending on the relevant facts of the matter, You should see a lawyer who is accomplished in estate litigation immediately. The longer you wait the less your chances of recovery usually are as things have a tendency to disappear or be otherwise unrecoverable..
