I still dont think I know everything but I talked to Pat. I asked her about Dad's will and she said he didnt actually have a will, he just wrote some things down. That most everything was in both their names except for the CD that was in my name.
Well...doesnt that mean he died intestate? Doesnt that mean this whole thing have to go through probate now?
She didnt say a word about the three life insurance policies.
I asked her about Dad's truck and about the tools. She said well Jamie was supposed to get the truck. Ok...we can work with that because Jamie will just sign it over to us. He cant use it. He wants Tony to have it. No problem there. When I said something about the tools, she was a little more iffy but I said Dad had said Tony could have them because Tony was getting older and needed them to stop working since his stroke and she said, well they are here, you can have them. Whew. Not that Tony is going to stop working right now but this is his plan for maybe 5 years down the line. Get himself set up to make all sorts of wooden stuff...mobile home steps, play houses, benches, chairs, etc. Sell them at flea markets or ads online.
I still think there is more to this I dont know but I may never know. Slowly over time I will probably get phone calls or boxes of stuff she finds that she wants me to have that was Dads and should go to me. Or was mine from when I lived with him.
