Oh my. One thing I have learned about this process so far? That I will NEVER do it again. NEVER!
Of course with most deceased folks, it won't be so complicated. My Dad, he left a mess.
We siblings still are doing ok, disagreements that are usually based on misread emotions and easily corrected.
I fear that the sibs are in such a hurry to finish this that they are making bad financial decisions that to be honest, I am getting to tired to fight. Fine, lets sell the house for next to nothing to the first offer just to get it over with. Sigh.
In the meantime, I am still working on getting some organization for the unfiled tax years, and there are many of those! Oh, lets not forget the missing car titles, missing titles to mobile homes, missing this, missing that.
A word to the wise: get your personal stuff in order so you don't leave a mess for your kids. And if you have a hoarding parent, don't sign on to be in charge.
One thing, our attorney seems to be on the ball. But he is charging us hourly and WOW does that add up fast. I don't even want to call him with a question unless I have other issues at the same time since a single call can cost a lot. lol
I still think about backing out of this. But I think I would be disowned. lol
