[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 134121, member: 1161"] There always seems to be at least one person who sees dollar signs when someone gets old and may be getting nearer the end of their life. My husband's family had a split right down the middle arguing over who should have gotten what when their mom died, took them years to get over it. My mom's family had a couple sisters who had "hurt feelings" when grandma passed and other sibs received items that others felt they should have gotten (with antique value, tho the items were kept for sentimental value). Gma lived with my unmarried uncle for his entire life, and he gave the items to sibs, they weren't listed in will, technically were his as house was his and all in it was willed to him if deemed to be gma's. Took some time for them all to get over it as well. There are 5 sibs in my family including me. My mom only has her house as anything of value, and at this point it's in my sis L's name, who pays the taxes on the house. It was a business thing, and we've now told mom better to leave it that way in case something suddenly happens to mom. My sis also does all the running around my mom needs, all the house repairs she needs done and when my mom has complaints it falls on my sis's shoulders (believe me that's a heavy burden on my sis's shoulders sometimes). I've told mom and sis that if anything mom has goes to her, it's only a payback for all my sis has done and put out $$wise for mom the last few years, the only thing I'd want is the large cross stitch I had done for mom years ago that's on her wall. One other bro & sis agree. The other bro however, we know would not be happy about that, but I think it's up to mom to decide. I and sis L are executors, and I know she's done a will, what's in it and any fight with bro I guess I'll eventually find out LOL. [/QUOTE]
