Kelly has faced allegations that he mishandled funds in the estate, and admitted to “stumbles” in how he handed his duties as executor.
Details of the settlement reached with the heirs are confidential under the provincial Probate Act.
Court documents say Kelly returned $145,000 to Thibeault’s estate in March 2012.
As of October, Kelly had kept his five per cent inheritance and an additional $16,587.13, which he listed as the costs of disposing of the estate.
