Inheritance

I've seen this before. They will piss the money away in no time and still expect for you and your GF to help them out.

If this allows you to get out of helping them later down the road. Consider yourself lucky and you got off cheap.

Muthafuckin amen!!!!

Either burn the house down or drop it. I suggest the later.

[bcoop]

It's just money, man. There's always more to be made.

This exactly. Based on your description of what is going on in her family I would feel like I made a great deal where I traded a little bit of money for the ability to ditch this family of fuck ups.

I'm not a lawyer and your mileage may vary.

It sounds to me like no one has actually filed the will and sent the estate to probate.

If the grand mothers house is $6k behind on taxes, then the estate has not been settled.
So, the will has not been filed, because probate would have settled that debt, or made an
attempt to settle it through estate liquidation.

So, outside of a filing of the will and probate actions, the estate would pass to the
children of the grandparents. The children of the grand parents simply need to present the
pertinent death, birth, and marriage certificates to the holders of the estates properties
to transition the assets. The house/property will not transition until it is free and clear
(pay all backtaxes).
Same for any of the grand parents estate assets like financial accounts, cars, etc...

It is not necessary for the will to be filed, if all pertinent parties can come to an agreement
on how to settle the estate.

It is possible that Adrian can file the will, if she has a valid/legal copy. Then the grand
parents estate is sent to probate to be settled. Adrian has a legitimate claim to the
grandparents estate being a blood sibling to the named benificiary listed in the will, but will
likely need legal representation to make her claim in court.
Material change to the family circumstances after the date of the will.
The will is the intention of the grandparents estate settlement, but it cannot
remove the blood relative's right to lay claim if it's legal and legitimate.
The court will see by the date of the will and Adrian's birth certificate that the claim is
legitimate and would be entitled to an even share of the settled estate if the state is to
follow the directive in the will.

There's a lot required for a will to be valid and legal. If the estate is sent to probate the
will may even be found to be invalid, then the state will settle the estate and the proceeds
will pass to the children of the grand parents, all with even share.

Don't feel to bad, my wife was supposed to get a cool million when her grandmother passed.

Instead the oldest son of gma got her to re-do the will on her death bed so he got 40million, his siblings got 250k, and the grand children only got 1000.

Talk about a nasty lawsuit that followed...

Karma was a bitch and he died about 8 months after gma died. Lawsuit got settled and the siblings(6 total) got the 2-3 mil a piece, while older brothers two kids kept the rest. Grand children got squat.

Is this why you got all mad about the price of a set of head bolts?

[clevelandkid]

She could have left the house to her dear little doggie or a nurse or the church, whatever... Sure, it sucks to be left out, but she's not entitled to anything. If the sister that is given the house doesn't feel its fair to sell it and whack up the proceeds evenly, I would remind her of that the next time she has her hand out.

Ugh?

[juiceweezl]

I agree & dis agree. The sister sits on food stamps & gets the goverment to pay for anything and everything she can. She had all her windows replaced & roof & new water heater replaced free of charge cause she qualified for it. She is exactly what you guys are always bitching about. Adrian is opposite. She spent 4 years in school busting her ass to get her degree & she feels like her sister gets all the handouts while she works her ass off. I get it & why she feels the way she does.

The mother has been on disabilty her whole life & hasnt worked in 30 years. They mouch off the goverment everyway they can & Adrian is already pissed at people who do mouch off the goverment cause its her tax dollars paying for it. They take out right at $600+ every two weeks from her check while she works 12 hours shifts at the hospital in Oncology

I'd let the money go. Furthermore, I'd let the family go. I would refuse to have my kids around grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins/etc. that do nothing but put a drain on society. It seems apparent you don't need them in your life, so remove them. Problem solved. If they ask why, then straight up tell them it's because they are simply robbing you twice -- once with money not shared from the house sale and a second time by taking your hard earned money (taxes) to support their worthless ass. It may suck to lose "family," but in my mind they're not family to begin with.

I feel your pain! RyanB get everything when my parents are gone, I get nothing. He gets the '82 El Camino AND the 2000 Ford Explorer!

Who died and left her money? My dad (a widower) made me the executor of his estate. Technically, the way it's set up, I can take it all. He's leaving it up to me to dole it out as I see fit.

Is there a statute of limitations on claims an executor can make? (anyone know). I came across a copy of a will recently from when my grandma died in '99. She made me executor of everything and in the event that I couldn't, she name off about 4 of her sisters in line after me to carry out the will. I was never told about anything after she passed. My mother handled everything...including selling of the house, etc...none of the sisters were even involved. Not sure how all that went down w/o me knowing. Anyway, I wonder if I can make a claim against a property that should have been mine? Isn't that what they sell title insurance for when you buy a home? To protect the buyer against any claims against the title? Hmmm.
