I am just about done with my dad's affairs. Closing accounts, distributing death certifications, calling SSA and his Central States pension and stopping payments, calling and mailing all 3 credit bureaus, so forth and so on. It has been a mountain of stuff to go through. Today's task was to go into a Wells Fargo branch to secure his account from online access from someone other than myself (namely his ex-wife who I know has access). Her gravy train has left the station. I think SHE may be the most devastated by his death. She had been mooching off him for the last 5-6 years. I hate to sound so mean and angry but having her 4-runner repossessed made me a little happy and tingly inside, lol. She coerced him into buying that for her the middle of last year and he had been paying $667.00 a month on it AND paying the insurance!
I also had to undo a deal where he went THE VERY WEEK we discovered he needed in home hospice care and bought her a pull behind travel trailer/camper! I had the deal nullified and his $3000.00 deposit refunded. The check came in yesterday and now it's back in mine/his account. I find it shocking that people will leech off somebody, even when they know that the person is in bad shape. In this case, on his death bed. God sees it and will deal accordingly.
I have MUCH more I could tell but it would make Jerry Springer seem tame, lol.
I have to go back this weekend to get the remainder of his tools, provided the lock has not been broken off his outbuilding. I am sorry for airing this out on a public forum but my family network is way fractured and I appreciate you guys being the sounding board of sorts
