Undated image of Jeff Borschowa, the Alberta accountant accused of fraudulently taking $500K in executor fees from the estate of a Calgary woman.

Colleen Monier was 51 years old when she died of terminal brain cancer in 2011 and left her estate to be dealt with by a family friend in Borschowa.Her family says they only received a portion as Borschowa allegedly lined his pockets with more than $500,000 over six years.
