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.
Every one of Lucy’s 51 email attachments (text messages, police reports, Sun Life notice letters, TD bank deposit slips, the unsigned “copy” of the will, Justice Carey’s Order, David Sundin email threads, the settlement agreement, the FMSA) is now mirrored as a public gallery with clickable full-resolution originals.
“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.”
| Element | Fact |
|---|---|
| Raffi’s testamentary intent | Ivana was to receive nothing (“wasn’t gonna get a dime”) |
| Method of neutralising Raffi | Poison administration — “Sitting there all you had to do was give the poison” |
| Ivana’s new family by the time Raffi died | 8+ months pregnant by Jax Barrette (another man) — son born 9 Aug 2016 |
| House transfer | Ivana “inherited that house” |
| Tax obligation | Never paid a dime in taxes for it |
| Purchase price effect | Paid 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 |
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 2Sun Life head office sent Crystal a notice letter; Crystal never signed. Third-party-documented forgery under CCC s. 366 + uttering s. 368.
Lucy Part 2Ceylans briefly handed a signed copy; Bart requested it back and substituted an unsigned copy marked “copy” in pen — forgery in plain sight.
Lucy Part 1Represented 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 18+ months pregnant at Raffi’s death — a separated “grieving wife” executor impersonator.
Lucy Part 1BEFORE any will-reading or estate-trustee appointment — unlawful conversion (s. 322), trespass, obstruction of probate.
Lucy Part 1Bart took her keys and locked up Raffi’s house. Julie DIED 28 May 2025 — witness loss.
Lucy Part 1Admitted on Nov 16 2016 audio recording (recorded by Julie on Lucy’s instruction). Theft over s. 322, obstruction of justice s. 139.
Lucy Part 1Claimed to be “Executor per the Will” while actually acting unlawfully without a Certificate of Appointment — mischief (s. 140), obstruction (s. 139).
Lucy Part 2Yet 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 2–3Estate/trust/family-law cases are exempt from mandatory mediation. Sundin told Betty mediation was “required” — deliberate professional misconduct.
Lucy Part 4The 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 5–6Before 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 + 5Line 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 6Howard 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 4A 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 3Joel 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).
