She got the will and trust changed
I was going to ask if that's even legal, but then you said this
if I take her to court to contest it most of the estate will get used up fighting in court.
so I assume that what she did isn't legal but not worth fighting. That's so lousy, ND. I'm sorry.
That is so shitty. I volunteer to be your adopted sister.
It looks like it was done back in 2012. Mom wasn't really all there, and it's checked out by a notary that's a friend of my sister. So yeah, I could challenge, but then an even bigger mess and I just want to get on with my life. She'll find a way to be out of money again in a few years anyway.
To be fair, it dissolves blood clots so people don't die. That's actually pretty awesome in my book.
My mom was on Coumadin for a long while due to blood clots.
That is so shitty.
It is discussions like this that make me glad I'm an only child. Settling my mom's affairs after she passed was fairly straight forward. Then again, she didn't really have a lot to settle. My dad, on the other hand, I'm not quite sure what his will says though I know their house and probably the rest of their assets are in a trust, so I'm assuming it all goes to his wife if he goes first.
I'd recommend having the "Ha-ha!" sound effect from that Nelson kid on The Simpsons at the ready should you think that sort of request might be approaching, Drew.
My dad has been taking Warfarin for about nine years thanks to some scary blood clots back in the oughties. I think it makes him feel a bit chillier and pee frequently when he's on the higher end of his dosage range, but no horrible side effects to report.
It makes me glad for both sides of my family -- the small side, which has handled the death of my grandfather, grandmother, and great-aunt within five-ish years, and the big side, which managed to jointly purchase and own a property to replace one that was smushed by Katrina. They're good people.
Oh I will.
It's just sad though. I'm not close to any extended family since they are mostly in Canada, so I never saw them often. It was just my parents, my sister, and I. I've never gotten along with my sister that well, and we don't have much in common, but now mom and dad are gone, and well...that's that.
Thankfully Pix's parents have always been amazing to me.
That sounds awful, Drew.

Yuuuup.
My mother has been having conflicts with her stepchildren, because last summer they got their father alone for a weekend away and tried to get him to change his will. Now, my mother and stepfather have been a couple for 28 years, and married for, like, 16 (they were pretty shy of marriage based on their divorces but then I got married and inspired them.) So it's not like she is some golddigger come lately. And he's been generous to his kids all along - like, tens of thousands generous. And in the existing will they each get $600,000. And yet this is somehow not enough. I completely do not get it.
My personal philosophy about family money is to expect nothing from anyone, and then anything I may receive will be a pleasant surprise.
It is sad, Drew, but it's not of your making, and kudos to you for walking away from it and embracing all the wonderful things you DO have in your life.
