I wish you luck then.... hopefully you don't have to take on the financial responsibilities or making all of the arrangements, I can tell you now it's not a picnic in the park so to speak. :rose:

Yup, that's the how it's set up, I'll be responsible for all of that.

its not a picnic in the park - take it from me who had to take care of it first hand for my dad, it shocked the heck out of me....alot of people take the assumption that its not a big deal, but it basically boils down to living another persons life literally overnight....that and fighting with my brothers cause they hated that I was executor and pwr of attny for my dads estate (his choice not mine)....they just got greedy, like most people do when someone passes away

Hey keiffers, LL. My brother and I did the same thing as you LL. He has power of attorney and is their chosen as executor. Me, I don't care, even if I'm older, he is more capable of dealing with everything than I am. He's been nursemaid to one set of grandparents, a great uncle and now he's in Florida kicking my cousin's butts to get them to help take care of their mother, my aunt, the one that has cancer. He's been through all of this before so he knows what they need to do.

They got mad at him thinking he was horning in on their mother, when all he was doing was trying to take care of her and help her get her affairs in order because they weren't doing anything to get involved. Well, he called it quits and they all talked and now they have reached an understanding about what he will and won't do.

my dad made the decision back in 92 with the executorship but once he was in the hospital did the pwr of attny....but the thing is that my dad was trying to teach me and my brothers responsibility, yet they were the ones that kept asking to borrow money from him...I did that once and I paid him back, but they would borrow the money, but take their time in paying him back....

Isn't that always the way? I have never asked to borrow any money from them unless I was truly desperate and I was a few times, but they always got paid back. My brother is just better able to handle this stuff, I tend to get way too emotional.

always a rough thing to deal with.. my sister and I had it easier then most.. the spring before mom passed away, her and dad did the will thing and signed up with the neptune society.. they made all the decisions in advance and made it easier to guide dad through and for us to handle when he joined her seven months later. and as mom left everything to dad and he split every thing down the middle with little sister and I, big sis who disowned us years ago had no rights to anything.
 
i didnt catch the beginning of this story but i gather the topic was family responsibilities...we went through a struggle in january when my sons great-grandmother had a stroke and no one knew who had power of atty. one of her sons came in and had her sign over bank acct info and he hacked into it. i had to get my lawyer involved to help them out as a result of this my own grandmother had written up power of atty to me and my mother in case anything happens to her because she knows we would be the most levelheaded ones in the family. im sorry to hear anyone is having problems, big hugs

Morning badgrl. It's not so much that we are all having problems, but we just somehow ended up on this topic. Everyone has problems of one sort or another, just amazing how many of us have or have had the same or similar ones. Hope you have a good day.

Morning LL, keiffers, sunbunny, Magica, pirraent, testing, and anyone else I may have forgotten. It's HUMP DAY!!! :nana: The weekend will be here before we know it. Have a good one! :)
