RECORD — reply ACTUALLY SENT by Maximus Wild to Kelly Hales Sent: 2026-07-14 (from Max's phone), responding to her 2026-07-13 message. Max trimmed the drafted in-person fallback line before sending; the sent text is below, verbatim. Awaiting reply as of 2026-07-14. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Kelly, thanks for getting back to me. We're lining up a Saskatchewan lawyer now and I'll have them contact you about the paperwork once that's set. In the meantime I'd really like to go through the binder you mentioned. Could you send me copies of what's in it? Photos or scans of the pages are fine, whatever is easiest for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY THIS SHAPE (carried from the draft): - One ask: the binder, copies first — creates a fixed snapshot she can't later edit, with zero travel. - "Once that's set" keeps the lawyer sequencing OURS — it does not promise paperwork gets signed after the binder, only that the lawyer will call. - No mention of the property's condition, value, or the 2026-07-10 visit. WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN HER RESPONSE: - Sends copies -> the accounting review starts early; save everything into the estate folder on arrival. - "Come get it / it's here waiting" -> acceptable; whoever collects it photographs EVERY page before anything else happens with it. - "You'll get it after the paperwork is signed" -> records conditioned on a release, IN WRITING — forward straight to counsel; do not argue it by text, and sign nothing. - Silence -> note the date; the lawyer's first letter can include the binder request formally.
