financial despair

[Beedie2014]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California my brother took over as executor of my moms finance and at the time before that she was helping me with my bills as I'm pending SSi/SSD and the money was mine that my mom had left over from when my grandma passed away she left the money to me. anyway when my brother took my mom he went in to take a look at her bills and payments in realize that she was giving me money and he was not there at the time this arrangement was made so he reversed PG&E cable Internet and cell phone bills back to me.. With my PG&E bill it is almost $400 to I only get a hundred and thirty seven dollars a month anywhere between a hundred's thirty-seven or so what it whatever general assistance feels I need to keep a roof over my head what I'm asking is is he able to do this does he have the right to do this I need to know what I can do about it I had to sell my car I dont understand why he or my other brother are so mean considering they haven't had anything to do with me or my children in almost 20 years so explain why this would happen what it is thank you I hope someone out there can help me figure out how to get my money back so I can at least sleep awe see above water

It was a little hard to wade through your post. Try standard punctuation and capitalization.

Let me see first whether I understand this.
- When your grandmother died she left some money to her daughter, your mother. You believe that some or all of that inheritance was to go to you after your mom died.
- While your mother was alive she used her funds, which included her inheritance from your grandmother, to help you. Apparently this included paying your PG&E bill, your cable bill, your internet bill, and your cell phone bill.
- Your mother died and now your brother is executor of your mother's estate.

If I have that correct, then
- As executor your brother is required to manage and distribute mom's estate in accordance with her written wishes in her will or, lacking a valid will, in accordance with state law. What your mother may or may not have promised you counts for nothing if it isn't part of a valid will.
- Your brother has no legal responsibility to pay your bills. His responsibility is to pay Mom's bills (including final medical and burial) and income tax to the state and feds, to pay any expenses incurred by the estate which could include lawyer costs and taxes, and then to distribute to the heirs the remaining amounts (if there is any) in the ratios specified in the will or state law.
- You want to "figure out how to get my money back." I don't see any money that has been taken from you unless you are saying that the PG&E, cable, internet, and cell phone bills he reversed were paid while mom was alive.

no when my grandmother passed away in her will she left each of us grandchildren $10,000 my brothers got theirs,and my sister my motherand me and my mother came to an agreement that it was best that she hold my money considering I wasn't working at the time. and with that agreement each month which ever way we wanted to we would make sure my bills were paid until I established a steady income or my SSI SSD whichever came first. after then I did not know that she was drinking she started acting weird. that's when I called my brother that is Right older than me tim and as to what was wrong with our mom and he said well what do you think she's drinking I was like what he said yeah we're just waiting for her to go down so that way we can take over I thought that statement was kind of strange it didn't seem right and after that is when she started really acting crazy and so I went up there cuz I was afraid for her and me and my friend were cleaning her house and found bottles of wine everywhere so my brother took her home with him and then my other brother later on to look for a to Reno and put her in a facility and that took over as executor of your finances and did all that to me

Standard punctuation and capitalization will make it possible for others to read you postings.

Otherwise you might just be wasting your time.

How long ago did your grandmother die? $10,000 is not a lot of money and I would not be surprised if you've all ready burned through it by now. Your brother probably did the math and decided you'd been taken care of long enough and that is why he cut you off. Have you spoken to him about his reasons for what he did?
