Yep, It's taking a lot longer than I anticipated. I thought as soon as the death certificates got here, we'd be golden, but first the death certificates were late and then we found out we have to have some affidavit to send to utility companies and such that says we are the ones who have the authority to close out the accounts, which we can't get until the 30 day mark. But I really do need to go home. 2 more weeks and I should be able to get out of here.
Seems similar to our country, except the inefficiency and corruption is widespread
Yeah I wondered that. Reminds me when I went to COR during the presidents weekend rush. COR had like 6 staff ready to assist you and there were like 20 spots for them to work on.
Well, I can't close it out myself. Neither of us were named executor, but according to the lawyer, that won't be a problem if we don't have to go through a full probate since everything was left equally to the two of us. We don't NEED an executor. So we just need the affidavit that says we are the ones who have the right to everything...which means we just have to do everything together and split it.
Well, I was pretty blessed when it came to the funeral and burial. For one thing, my brother didn't really give a rat's patootie about any of it so I could make decisions without his objection. For another, a good friend of my dad's (he was staying at their house when he passed and the friend was the one who found him...they thought he was napping) was there to help me make the arrangements. Anything I didn't know, he filled in. It made it so much easier to have that help. And then for the burial, my grandfather had bought a whole bunch of plots for his children and their spouses and eventually even some grandchildren...he had like 10 plots. So there was no question about where he would be buried...he's right next to his parents and when I visited the grave a week and a half ago, they already had his military cross there. So the funeral arrangements were relatively painless as far as those things go, thank goodness. I'm so sorry you are still dealing with all of it. And it sounds like in your case, everyone has their own opinions about how everything should have gone....I didn't have that. I was free to choose.
Well my kids have a week and a half break right now. So they are staying with my in-laws, but our Summer break isn't until June and we have a bit of a time crunch. My grandfather was a homesteader and built his house out there in the middle of nowhere...Before my mom and dad got married, the ranch corporation had financial problems and sold the land to the coal mine, but kept the mineral rights, and they leased the surface back from the mine so they could live on it and have their cattle. So my dad kept leasing it back from the mine. I guess in January, they told him they wanted to start mining the land that he was living on, so he needed to move his house and everything by June 1st. We think that might have contributed to his death...his house and his cattle were all he had left....to be told at 84 that you have to leave and do something else...we think maybe he was just done and ready to go. So anyway, Summer break isn't until July and we are supposed to have everything gone by June 1st.
It is all very sad. I am glad that at least you had a little help with the funeral arrangements. I guess your grandfather had great foresight. Funerals are one of the things I try to keep furthest from my mind but sometimes I guess you need to face reality of mortality. Continued prayers for you.
If it is not cold then apparently it is raining.
You obviously have no idea how much they have the nerve to charge for them in the supermarket
Hugs I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. Be well my friend and I hope you get home soon. xoxo

Lighten' up...different people achieve there life goals in different ways millions of times a year.

Well when I told her the dining plan was only going to be for 2 qs meals, she didn't feel as bad. Now she just has to hope for room discounts to come out for the 10 days before Halloween.
