Kid says 'You're not my father!' but wants the land when he dies

[ralphwiggum]

Washington

The daughter is about 40
Her mother who is not living left her husband 35 years ago,
and when the father tried to contact the daughter, who he never
saw in ages, ten years ago, the daughter told him 'You're not my father.'

When I spoke to my uncle four months ago he told me he never
knew where his kids were. He never saw them in ten years.

Now, my uncle died a few months ago. His two sisters and two brothers
think the daughter should not get his land. They say she does not deserve it.
they say she hated her father - therefore should not get his property.

I said Washington state, but really, it's Alberta. But it's all the same.

Is there a possibility the daughter will not get the land, or is the law
completely in her favour, since she is the daughter.

Alberta is in CANADA.
Washington state is in the United States.

NOT THE SAME!

What? The idiots? They must not teach geography up there in Canada.

Doesn't anyone know the answer?

Just imagine it happened in Washington state

Does the kid get the property, after telling the father 'YToure not my father'
and not speaking for ten years.

Listen, you are CANADIAN. There is no imagining. YOUR LAWS are different than those in the U.S.

So, either contact a CANADIAN attorney or not. but no one here is qualified to answer your question and I'm not doing that much research for free.

What somebody says never affects inheritance rights.

Dear Canadian Doofus,

No one can or will hazard an intelligent guess about your situation, because it did NOT HAPPEN in WA. It happened in CANADA, which is NOT in the USA. (Though perhaps it should be...)

Do you see the large red letters on every single page here? They state, in part: US Law Only.

That's because this is a US LAW ONLY website. Go find a Canadian law website.

Love,
FA

In Washington, it's against the law to sleep in an outhouse without the owner's permission. Is it the same in Canada?

It's illegal in Wilbur, Washington, to ride an ugly horse.
But in Canada it's perfectly legal to ride an ugly woman.

I am an American Dufus,

I rip people off all the time.

I act important to compensate for the fact I rip people off.

So if I lied and said I lived in washington state, I'd get an answer.

Okay, I live in washington state. I know there is a law that says when a wife 'abandons' her husband for several years, she loses inheritance rights. I am wondering if kids, who disrespect their parents and abandon the parents for ten or twenty years - if there is a similar thing? Try not to freak out because I live in Canada. Just pretend it's in washington, or Nebraska or some other state in good old America.

I suspect that the law is fairly similar in both countries...both are based on english common law, with similar exceptions in some areas based on the Napoleonic Code. If the parent dies intestate then his/her children have "first dibs" legally.

We might as well just pretend that it's Mars and make up an answer, but that's not the way things work here. It's NOT Washington or Nebraska or Mars. There is no point in pretending that it is and giving an answer because that answer would NOT apply in Canada. I'm in Texas and we're allowed to shoot trespassers. However, I would never tell someone in Canada that this is acceptable for them to do because the laws are NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!

And you would be wrong. Bit I'm so tired of this idiot I'm not about to answer why. If you want to do the research and answer him, you're welcome to peruse the Consolidated Statutes (Third Series)
