Dee Dub,
This meeting was a nightmare! The lawyer started his meeting out by rasing his voice to intimidate me for questioning his authority. " I don't know what your profession or your authority but I have been doing this for 28 years and I have always done it this way."
He had a...
I spoke with a lawyer yesterday who is prepared to argue on my behalf. He did review the will I faxed to him and he too, along with his colleagues, agree with my contentions.
My fingers are crossed. Hoipefully this won't cost me my house!... either by improper settling or legal fees.
Thank...
The executor, who is also to be the trustee and was the drafter of the will, my mom's lawyer, claims that the will forms the trust before the paying of estate taxes and therefor the properties are bound by that trust and cannot be touched to help pay those taxes. He wants to pass the burden to...
DEE-DUB... help me again!
"All the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, including my interest in premises (ADDRESS 1)-------,ny; (ADDRESS2) -----,ny;and (ADDRESS3)-----,ny I give unto my Trustee, herein named, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for my son ---...
Hi! A lady rear ended me and called her husband to the scene who said she did not have a license as she was here on a visitor's visa. He asked not to go through insurance and gave me a check. He later stopped payment on the check which I was made aware of by return from my bank 11 days later. I...
You are correct. Since my brother is the youngest of us all, her intention was for the 2 extra properties to help sustain him in the long run, not me and my sister. That of course is if the properties remain. I do not think that my mother expected the taxes to be so high. As well, she was not...
Thank you. My brother is not the executor however he holds private meetings with the attorney that is and I am kept in the dark for the most part. Doesn't fiducuary responsibility extend to all of us in the will and not only to my brother, who the lawyer will continue a relationship with as a...
The wording for his share is as follows:
FIRST thru Fourth instruct on funeral payment and make specific gifts of real estate to me, my sister, and my uncle (my mother's brother)
FIFTH: "All the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, including my...
As is such, I will definately do so. I had intended to all along until my brother started acting all secretive and weird with me regarding the settling of her estate and taxes etc. Simple sibling rivalry and hurt feelings.
Thank you!
But is the property being given to my brother considered to be part of that residue? I know that it was my mother's intention for the two extra properties being left to my brother to cover any needs for the other three properties which we each, my brother, my sister and I live in separately. My...
My mother's will states the following:
All the rest, residue and remainder of my property and estate, both real and personal, including my interest in premises -------,ny; -----,ny;and -----,ny I give unto my Trustee, herein named, IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, for my son --- ,......

My mother recently passed away while in the hospital for more than two months. While she was in the hospital, she signed over a check to me to use to run her house, pay her bills and handle any events that came up. We never expected that she would never return home. I did use up the majority of...
