So your mom has other heirs.

Nice. Why did she do that? If I were your siblings, I'd look for a will, and if there isn't one, I'd investigate you for possible elder abuse, unjust enrichment, etc.

So you're a c-u-nt, and he's a douchebag. You sound like a lovely pair with no morals whatsoever. Is stealing a recent thing for the both of you, or do you have a long history of it?


I have one sibling by mom. My sibling is in total agreement with how i am spending the money as the majority of it is going to her kids and grandkids.

It's not stealing. Mom legally put the money in MY name so it is mine and i don't have to do a damned thing for anyone else with the money or answer to anyone about what i do with it. But i am doing what mom wanted so the other heirs have no complaints.

elder abuse? I am fulfilling my mom's wishes and together mom and I consulted a top attorney in the area of elder finances to ensure that everything was done legal.

It must not be that much money, huh?

Tell your husband to get a job...

If you truly believe this, then why did you start this thread?

It doesn't seem like any attorney worth a shite would just say "yea put that money in an account with only a verbal commitment from your mother with Alzheimer's" much less one that is "the top in an area".

Is this the same sister who was caring for Mom but then stole Mom's $, hid it away & you had to take to court so you could get POA?

quote:

She had lived with sis for a few months but that blew up. Sibling took mum's money and hid it and refused to give it up or to give to mom or reveal where it was.

Mom has a decent bit of cash money and I had to go to court to get custody of it and POA over mom.



Not sure if I'd trust her to be happy with the way you're spending the money.

Didn't she say they lived off the land and only needed a few hundred bucks a months to live? Again she is a very private person.

I have trouble believing a "top attorney" would recommend just adding you as a co-account holder

How bad was mom's Alzheimer's when this donation occurred

Was there a formal donation inter vivos drawn up?

Was there an interdiction proceeding for you to handle her financial and medical affairs?

Power of attorney?

Please, indulge us.

All you married people with his and her money are nuts, especially if you have kids. Am I the only one that thinks that a husband and wife should manage their money together? What if one person is responsible and the other is a economic moron? Makes zero sense to me.

I do believe she said that.

And I just want to take this opportunity to state that this thread is a perfect example of why I believe Dorothy is one of the most underrated posters on this site.

She isn't going to frick you, Fes.

GK may, though. She married her husband after a few weeks of dating. Play your card right, and you can slide right in after the divorce and live like David Koresh.

Frick that. Live with the constant threat of her taking her shite back when she gets mad at me? No thanks.

And she has grandchildren, doesn't she? How old do you think I am, Slurpee boy?

Spent most of my life in TN. A quick Google search showed me the way. I edited pretty quickly.

In the absence of a will, the proper thing to do is to pay mom's expenses and divide the remainder equally between the heirs. In the presence of a will, the proper thing to do is follow the will.

It sounds like there is no will, and your mother suffering from dementia added you as co-owner of her accounts. That definitely sounds like elder abuse and unjust enrichment.

What's clear is that your moral compass is totally broken, if it ever existed in the first place, and your sister is as stupid as you are dishonest.

However, call me old fashioned but if it is an inheritance, then it is both yours and your husband's money, so he should have some say.


He doesn't inherit her mothers money. That is hers.

However is anyone else in line for inheritance? She may be spending someone other that her mothers money.
