Me Loiselle successfully defended the interests of the liquidator of the Lalande estate, the defendant. A second-generation heir claimed a full rendering of accounts and over $60,000 for mismanagement of an estate administered since 1965. The Court concluded that the first-generation heirs had waived formal accounts for 40 years; the claims were prescribed; no mismanagement was proven; the plaintiff's expert report was withdrawn and not credible; the liquidator had acted properly, and her rendering of accounts was approved. She also recovered all her legal fees as liquidator of the estate in question. The plaintiff's claim was dismissed.
Me Loiselle successfully defended the defendants in an application to annul a will. The Vallières nephews sought to annul their aunt's 2010 will made in favour of the Chartrand defendants, on grounds of incapacity or undue influence. They requested that the previous will be declared valid, which was in favour of the five cousins, the Vallières and the Chartrands. After an expert debate on capacity and a lengthy trial, the Court concluded that the deceased was still capable of making a will, knew the extent of her assets, and understood her actions, and that there was no evidence of undue influence. The will was therefore valid.
Me Loiselle represented Ms. Tessier in an unjust enrichment claim brought by the liquidator of her friend Rocco Mossa's estate, alleging that she benefited from the deceased's property. On the contrary, the evidence showed that the deceased had given her power of attorney, was aware of his actions, and voluntarily made several gifts or expenditures for her. The Court dismissed the liquidator's unjust enrichment claim, except for an amount of $1,417.12 awarded for posthumous expenses made without testamentary authorization.
