[Dr Vegas]

12. Mom passed last month, Dad two years ago

My brother was Caretaker and had POA for years now. A close family friend was established the Executor of the estate simply because my Dad want to avoid an infighting among his children. Now the older sister is on the hunt for money. Six years ago she wanted to throw my parents in a Nursing Home and sell their house. He didn't want to do that, she she ended all communication with the parents.
We (my brother and me) were able to fulfill my Dad's wish to die at home , when the time came at the age of 92. After an year of his death we had to move my Mom to assisted living. A facility that was safe and clean run by a group of Nuns. My Mom had been in poor health for years. My brother made many attempts to keep the lines of communication open for My Mom and her children. We got her a free caption phone from the state. I printed out and delivered weekly emails that were format in large print for her to read. My brother used his Ipad to set up Facetime sessions with the rest of the family. At 82 she took a turn to the worse and within a week she had passed.

We waited till after easter to have her service so that family could fly in. Even after that consideration I had to listen to snide remarks all week how My brother and I prevent the others from seeing her and that we have hidden all the money.

After the service, my brother left the state to take a week's vacation , his first in 6 years. I was at my parents house with the executor, as family grabbed what they wanted. I left after a few hours because I could not handle all the drama, and was afraid I would do some evil like smack someone on the side of the head.

When we were in probate a lawyer explained that this kind of drama happens all the time.

I hope things work out for you
