Rights of survivorship

[latigo]

After The Dandy's oxymoronic reply, I figured that it wasn't worth another response.

“Oxymoron” from the French “oxys” (sharp) + “moros” (foolish).

Could you point out the oxys?

The point on top of the head?

No it's me assuming . . . .
I would think . . . .

What is your interest in all this? I realize the deceased was your friend, but it's between the family and her male friend/bf now.

Based on the OP's other threads, it's reasonable to assume that one of the beneficiaries is the ward of the OP making the OP's business to handle her ward's affairs.

I'm only looking at this thread, and I'm not searching for multiple threads about the same issue.
Assumptions are very often not reasonable, especially in estate matters.
I asked OP the question; perhaps she can speak for herself.

well, part of what we do here involves research. It's great when they do not open multiple threads and tell us everything but this is not a perfect world.

If you get upset about doing a little research, maybe helping others is not your forte`.

but, on top of everything else, what does it change if the OP is a relative, a friend, or the man in the moon?

If it's the man in the moon, there may be swiss cheese involved.

I do believe that this is a completely different situation than in mrs sankofa's other threads.

Actually, I’m not upset. And for all I know there might be several other multiple threads about this from this poster, or several dozen. If you want to do that particular type of research, fine. I don’t. You can analyze me all day and make whatever assumptions or throw whatever darts you need to. Whatever gets you thru the night, as the saying goes. My fortes or lack thereof are none of your business, and I didn't ask for your guidance or advice.

I've seen many threads where long-time members complain about people posing as friends/relatives, and chastiee people for duplicate posting in the hopes they will eventually get the answer they want to hear. (Often those threads are removed.) I'm not necessarily accusing the OP of doing that; it's just odd that a friend would be so intensely interested in the details someone else's estate matters.

Back to topic: OP, I “assume” you are capable of speaking for yourself and I hope you will do so.

Once again, what difference does it make? It does not change the responses.

Please pass the wine.

Yep... ...

phase08,

You are correct in me being friend of the deceased and also because the deceased was in her late 80's and not able to continue to care for her niece, she asked that hubby and I look after her.

My interest is for the niece of the decease (my ward). She suffers with MS. Her aunt was her last full-blood relative and the other beneficiaries are her stepsisters. The niece asked me to ask some questions for her here which I did and the answers have been very helpful.

My husband and I have now contacted the attorney who took care of the guardianship of our ward because there are issues where we can't go any further.

I hope this answers your inquiry as to what I am doing sticking my nose into something where I do belong!

Well, the OP came back and answered. See, if you had read her other threads as I did, you have saved yourself .

mar sankofa, I have no idea how many multiple threads you’ve created about this same issue, but it stands to reason that if you found it necessary to do so, something was lacking as far as helpful advice. At the beginning of this particular thread, you could have simply stated “(I’m the ward of the deceased niece)”. I wouldn’t think that would have presented a hardship for you. That simple act which would have taken a couple seconds would have shorted this thread considerably. Of course, it would also have cut down on the fun of some other members, but such is life.

That aside, it’s great that you finally decided to hire an attorney so you can finally get the help that you obviously so desperately need. Good luck.
