My name is Joe. I am past 90 and was looking towards a good retirement I am a professional Electrical Engineer. I manage to build a considerable portfolio for myself and wrote a will to leave to my siblings, dependents and ex-partners in the millions of dollars. I built a family business of more than 108 apartment units in the Ottawa core in the last 40 years.

 

 

I woke up one morning in August 2018 and found that I do not own a cent. I forgot that in 2011, I signed a Power of Attorney for property. Now like a invisible sword dangling over my head, it suddenly appeared and destroyed me. The POA that names Joy (my daughter), Todd (my son) and Gary Katz ( my accountant for the last 38 years) has rendered me defenseless and put me in a miserable state. As a precaution, I should have taken the document to be reviewed by another lawyer before I affixed my signature. I trusted my family and accountant. This was the worst mistake of my life. I never suspected that a plot to get rid of me was in the making that moment I signed.

I feel that there are only less than five years that I expect to be around. I feel devastated and alone. I will try to document a history and current events in this website.
