Below conversation took place between me and boss (male) on one fine day...
Boss: "My mom is not very well lately. She just had knee surgery. And she is getting old. I am worried about her."
Me: " Oh.. is she living with you and your family?"
Boss: "No. She lives alone."
Me: "Oh... " 不解 expression shown on my face. Not because the fact that she lives alone. It is the fact that you tell people you worried about your mom, and she is ill, and very old, and yet you let her stay alone.
Boss continued : "I have to be fair with my wife."
Fair?????????????????????
What the hell is this????????????????????????
How is taking care of your mom being unfair with your wife by staying together?
I know 家家有本难念的经, but what you said is what you think. Unbelievable a son will think like this. But then again, I am not surprised. My nearby also got such one fresh example lah. Yiu.
See lah? Prove another - son is really 没有心肝. (This will piss off a lot of people, but, so far 90% of the time I see this happening).
Probate Fees
The provinces each have different fee structures.
In British Columbia, the basic fee payable for commencing the application for the grant is $208.
The basic fee is waived if the value of the estate* does not exceed $25,000. The $25,000 threshold is calculated based on the value of all the property of the deceased situated in British Columbia.
In addition to the basic application fee, there is a requirement that the following fees be paid:
If an estate has a gross value of $214,500, the total fee payable will be:
*The “value of the estate” means the gross value of
(a) the real and tangible personal property of the deceased situated in British Columbia, and
(b) if the deceased was ordinarily resident in British Columbia immediately before the date of death, the intangible personal property of the deceased, wherever situated, that passes to the personal representative at the date of death.
The probate fee rate is the rate in effect when the grant is issued, not the rate in effect on the date of death, nor the rate in effect on the date when any additional filing fees are paid.
