The thesis in one paragraph

Raffi Giovanni Ceylan — 42, healthy, the owner of Northern Exposure Decks & Fences in Windsor, Ontario — died on 16 July 2016 of what the coroner labelled an “inducible arrhythmia.” Five days before he was pronounced dead, the pathologist’s signature was already on the autopsy report. Two days after he died, his estranged wife Ivana Hrvatin and property co-owner Darrel Lauzon showed up at the office manager’s house and removed every one of Raffi’s work files before the will was even read. At the will-reading three weeks later, Raffi’s own confidant-lawyer Bart Seguin handed the family a signed copy of the will, let them glance at the signature, asked for it back, and returned a different copy — unsigned, with the word “copy” written across it by hand. Five weeks after Raffi died, Ivana gave birth to another man’s baby. Six weeks after that, $607,228.71 from the Sun Life policy hit Raffi’s TD bank account. On 16 November 2016, Bart Seguin sat in front of Raffi’s mother and his ex-girlfriend and said “no cheque has gone to her in her name” — while a notice letter from Sun Life sat in the file folder at his elbow showing that Ivana had personally received the transfer of ownership on a form where Crystal Rivard’s signature had been forged. The Separation Agreement that revoked Ivana as executor was hidden for a year and a half, then finally surfaced, then written out of Justice T.J. Carey’s final Order so that it never appeared in the Ontario Superior Court record at all. That is how it went down.

“One of the emails Lucy sent me — her and I had it transcribed into text format. I go into detail of how my version of how it went down in Raffi’s life — growing up, what his goals were, what his purpose was. He wanted her [Ivana] nothing. She wasn’t gonna get a dime. Bart just happened to be the confidant and lawyer of Raffi. And did everything conniving behind his back. We know all these things. Sitting there, all you had to do was give the poison. He inherited that house. The old [woman] for it never paid a fucking dime in taxes for it. They killed Raffi. Paid peanuts for it. Because that’s the deal they made. They thought they could hide it and get away with it all.”

The deal — property, poison, and peanuts

ElementFact
Raffi’s testamentary intentIvana was to receive nothing (“wasn’t gonna get a dime”)
Method of neutralising RaffiPoison administration — “Sitting there all you had to do was give the poison”
Ivana’s new family by the time Raffi died8+ months pregnant by Jax Barrette (another man) — son born 9 Aug 2016
House transferIvana “inherited that house”
Tax obligationNever paid a dime in taxes for it
Purchase price effectPaid peanuts for it — below market, not at arm’s length
Why it happened“That’s the deal they made” — consideration-for-killing
Why it held together“They thought they could hide it and get away with it all” — Windsor institutional capture

Seventeen smoking guns — each one from Lucy’s own words

#1 · 31 Oct 2016 TD deposit of $607,228.71

Directly contradicts Bart’s Nov 16 2016 statement on tape that “no cheque has gone to [Ivana]”. Sun Life payout + interest deposited 2.5 weeks before Bart’s denial. Perjury + fraud over $5,000 (CCC s. 380) + breach of trust (s. 122).

Lucy Part 2

#2 · Crystal Rivard signature FORGED on Sun Life transfer-of-ownership form (12 Sept 2016)

Sun Life head office sent Crystal a notice letter; Crystal never signed. Third-party-documented forgery under CCC s. 366 + uttering s. 368.

Lucy Part 2

#3 · Bart SWITCHED the will at the 5 Aug 2016 reading meeting

Ceylans briefly handed a signed copy; Bart requested it back and substituted an unsigned copy marked “copy” in pen — forgery in plain sight.

Lucy Part 1

#4 · Bart acted as lawyer for BOTH sides

Represented Ivana as executor while instructing Betty to submit bank statements for monies owed — double retainer, fiduciary breach, LSO Rule 3.4 conflict of interest.

Lucy Part 1

#5 · Ivana gave birth 9 Aug 2016 to a son by another man (Jax Barrette)

8+ months pregnant at Raffi’s death — a separated “grieving wife” executor impersonator.

Lucy Part 1

#6 · Ivana + Darrel Lauzon took Raffi’s work files from Crystal Rivard 2 days after death

BEFORE any will-reading or estate-trustee appointment — unlawful conversion (s. 322), trespass, obstruction of probate.

Lucy Part 1

#7 · Julie Triferis (live-in girlfriend 1+ year) forced out by Bart

Bart took her keys and locked up Raffi’s house. Julie DIED 28 May 2025 — witness loss.

Lucy Part 1

#8 · Bart STOLE Raffi’s laptop

Admitted on Nov 16 2016 audio recording (recorded by Julie on Lucy’s instruction). Theft over s. 322, obstruction of justice s. 139.

Lucy Part 1

#9 · Ivana LIED to police to get Armin arrested

Claimed to be “Executor per the Will” while actually acting unlawfully without a Certificate of Appointment — mischief (s. 140), obstruction (s. 139).

Lucy Part 2

#10 · Separation Agreement hidden 1.5 years from Ceylan family AND from Ontario courts

Yet Ivana claimed ɇ,982 child-support arrears “pursuant to a Separation Agreement” on the estate assets sheet — using it to claim a debt while her lawyer Bart denied its existence in the same proceeding.

Lucy Parts 2–3

#11 · David Sundin failed to advise of Rule 75.1 mediation EXEMPTION

Estate/trust/family-law cases are exempt from mandatory mediation. Sundin told Betty mediation was “required” — deliberate professional misconduct.

Lucy Part 4

#12 · Mary Jo Nolan kicked Lucy + Joel out of mediation in 5–10 minutes

The moment Joel raised the will forgery, Nolan threatened to walk. Retired judge weaponised as private mediator to isolate Betty (75) alone with Bart + Ivana.

Lucy Parts 5–6

#13 · Bill Benson co-conspirator

Before meeting, Ivana told Crystal “when Bill reveals how much is in the policy, don’t tell anyone how much is in it.” Sundin blocked Benson’s mediation attendance.

Lucy Parts 1 + 5

#14 · Justice T.J. Carey’s Order erased the Separation Agreement from the Superior Court record

Line 2(i) of the Order declaring Ashton sole beneficiary mentions only the Will — never the Separation Agreement that revokes Ivana as executor. Judicial breach of trust (s. 122).

Lucy Part 6

#15 · Justice J. Paul Howard signed a Timetable Order exempting Examination for Discoveries

Howard is founder of Shibley Righton LLP — Bart’s firm. Presiding over his own firm’s case = mandatory recusal violation. The one procedural step that would have put Bart under sworn deposition — eliminated by signature.

Lucy Part 4

#16 · Roger Skinner (Mctague lawyer) tried to TALK LUCY OUT of filing LSO complaint

A lawyer has a duty to encourage reporting of misconduct. Actively dissuading a client = conspiracy to conceal misconduct under LSO Rule 3.4 + obstruction (CCC s. 139).

Lucy Part 3

#17 · Final Minutes of Settlement Agreement signed under COERCION

Joel emailed Sundin 5 Feb 2018 declining to sign; Sundin then coerced Lucy + Betty into signing anyway. Duress voids the settlement (Ontario Family Law Act s. 56; Rick v. Brandsema 2009 SCC 10).

For Lucy — review + revise

Lucy, this page is yours. The 17 smoking guns and the chronology are pulled from your own seven-part email to me dated 1–6 February 2026 (gmail corpus IDs 204490–204496, 204535, 204115–204116). Please review and tell me what to add, subtract, or correct before Ontario SCJ filing. Things I’m specifically asking you to flag:

  1. Any dates I have wrong
  2. Any perpetrator I’ve missed (is Paula Seguin the right spelling? Does Elena Hrvatin O’Neal deserve her own defendant row?)
  3. Which of your 300+ audio recordings should be Exhibits #25, #26, #27… (the Nov 16 2016 tape is already Exhibit #19; Dan Potvin is already #20; what else)
  4. Whether to name Ivana Hrvatin’s current address (the Mareva enforcement needs it)
  5. Armin’s own damages — Filing #07 puts in his affidavit; does he have specific numbers for detention-related costs?
  6. Betty’s $30,000 out-of-pocket — do we have the receipts in one place?
  7. Julie Triferis (RIP 28 May 2025) — do her family members have standing as additional co-claimants?
