"Unconscionable Sale"



Andy Bouchard was to have paid "fair market value",

Assessment based on prior years' evaluation at Portage Land

Titles and not to be used as "market value" upon sale of

property, as understated, as opposed to independant going

rate based on comparable properties at that time.


Going rate was $1,200 an acre.  Despite agreement for fair

market value, Lionel Bouchard paid $675?

Lionel Bouchard questions how the property was appraised,

"cultivated" as opposed to "bush" and "yard area"?



No "independant legal advice" given to Lionel Bouchard ~ a

senior at time of sale and not at "arm's length related party".



The mortgage Lionel Bouchard carried for son Andy

Bouchard never registered on title, paving the way for Andy

Bouchard to draw equity on the apparently "unencumbered"

acreage.



Lynda Staub, Lionel's daugthter, admitted to seeing her father

weekly and assisting him with his personal/business

paperwork.  Yet Lynda Staub did not ensure that her father's

rights were protected in registering a mortgage on title or life

estate ~ especially in light of the fact that she worked at

​Winnipeg Land Titles for the past twentyplus years!

Sale of second half of Centennial Farm, in part for sentimental reasons by Lionel Bouchard. Terms $25,000 down and 5 annual payments of $7,000 annually in December. NO INTEREST? Morgage never registered nor life estate.

Lionel Bouchard was hastily ushered into Andy Bouchard's lawyer's office in Portage La Prairie and told to "trust me" by Andy Bouchard. Lionel Bouchard had no independant legal advice. Neither mortage nor life estate were ever registered on title. Fair market value for an acre at that time was $1,200 an acre.

Property assessment is outdated as based on prior years' evaluation and understated according to Portage Land Titles. However, the valuation is at minimum $151,300.

  
Road allowance title certificate disappeared..... Lionel Bouchard found some remnants of title certificates buried in  the backyard and turned these over to his lawyer Winston Smith!

Access road which Lionel Bouchard built up and gravelled annually having driven a grader for the Municipality of Cartier for over twenty five years, retiring without a pension.

  Despite being a "farm-equipment-commissioned- salesman" all his

  life, well- versed in contracts, this is the documentation Andy

  Bouchard presented to his father for the unregistered mortgage

  held by his father - Lionel Bouchard of Elie, Manitoba.  

  Notably missing, is the interest not factored into the equation or

  agreement.

   December 1, 2005, Andy Bouchard's own handwriting states
     that he owes his father $7,000.  In 2008, on his father's birthday,
     January 22, Andy Bouchard presented his father a cheque for $2,000
    with  a notation in the memo stating "payment in full" - a
      cheque never negotiated after consultation with his sister Madeleine
      Fillion.  Rather the cheque was turned over to Lionel's lawyer Winston
  Smith for evidence of attempted "release" of  monies due from
     Andy Bouchard.

   At the same meeting, Lionel was asked to turn over his "Will" to
       Michele Dunbar of Cartier Senior's for "safekeeping" which Lionel
   Bouchard refused.

   Meeting occurred at Michelle Dunbar's office of the Cartier Senior office.

   Lynda Staub warned her father that if he did not sign the
        papers presented to him by herself and Andy Bouchard, they would
        have "nothing further to with him".

   Deeply troubled, Lionel Bouchard left for B.C. in February 2008,
        after revising his Will and Power of Attorney, naming his sister
        Madeleine Fillion and daughter of B.C. as executrix and power of
        attorney. Both the aforesaid along with Jules Chartrand, a first
   cousin, were named as Health Care Proxy.
