Take 12? That was meant to say 2k, right?
I did agree. I planned the wake, after we made the claim on the insurance. The funeral home had to put in a form with our permission to take a cut from our claim.
I never said I didn't agree. But from what I've read, we can be reimbursed for it...
Ok, here are the comments I made about it in emails to him. Do these count as me putting in a claim? Or do I need to make an official request to him?
"It might not be too late to put in a claim for us to get reimbursed the 4k for cremation and wake expenses. You should ask her about that. That...
I'm not pig headed at all. There's no need for insults. He let everyone know of my mom's death in short order, there's no question of that. I DID look it up. I know how to google. And I came up with nothing. That's why I asked here. My mom passed April 19th. I'll go ahead and put in an official...
I'm sure that's true but I was just asking a separate question. How do you file a claim. Did not expect the other thread to be brought up at all and that isn't in my control.
Really? So if the estate owes me over twice what they claim I owe the estate, that doesn't get taken into account? Absurd!
And I wouldn't say it was "unwise" so much as I was told by the executor that I would get reimbursed. I've never dealt with a situation like that, that doesn't make me a...
And this is very confusing. In her filing for insolvency, she put down funeral expenses under "explanation of entries". My mother's money didn't pay those.
Ok. What if he refuses when I make the official request? Does he get in trouble?
He and I were both the beneficiaries. He signed the papers for the funeral home to receive our money but the deduction for their expenses was equally divided. We each would have gotten 10k, but since we allowed...
So I don't file with the court? Like I said, the estate is insolvent, I will not get paid. This is 100% about having it on record that the estate owes ME over twice as much as it claims I owe the estate.
Thanks, Quincy, but the reason I posted a new thread was because I simply did not know how to file the claim. It's a separate question, I wasn't trying to keep the same conversation going. I thought we were supposed to tell the attorney. Apparently not. Now I'm told I have to file it in court...
Easier said when you don't know how truly evil my brother is. There's a reason I didn't speak to him for 9 years. He is extremely abusive and you'd think the fact that I have abusive emails from him as the executor, that I could so something about that, but nooope. He allowed me to take most of...
You misunderstand, LdiJ. I need to make a claim to show that the estate owes me more money than they claim I owe. It needs to be on record. It has nothing to do with trying to get money or "not letting things go." I wouldn't see any money from the claim. That's what insolvent means.
I wrote to the attorney today telling her I'd like to officially put in my claim. She has always answered me in the past, and it was billed to the estate. I guess it's a different story now that the estate is out of money, because she said
"I represent the Estate, and therefore Erik as Personal...
What is the name of your state? MA
I told the estate attorney I want to make an official claim for reimbursement for funeral expenses. This was paid for by a life insurance payout from my mom. We made the claim, and before we got the payout, we allowed the funeral home to request a cut to pay...
I just thought about something.
My brother is also withholding my mother's ashes from me. I paid $1,000 to have her cremated and did not put in a claim for reimbursement. When I mentioned the claim to my brother, this is before everything gets declared insolvent in the court, but after the...
I appreciate that advice HRZ. If it comes to that, I will. And I'll cc the attorney.
I'm not causing any drama. I did nothing to him. I tried to help him. As I said, I cut off all contact with him and deferred it to my husband. The only drama came from him.
Correct. He didn't accuse me of doing him dirty, but being an "ingrate", which is false. I thanked him many times. He is a sociopath tho. Had not spoken to him for 9 years, neither has our sister (half sister, not an heir). I came very close to reporting him for elder abuse over how he treated...
I know, but I would have gladly taken the position if I had any idea what his power entailed. I would never have trusted him to make all the decisions. Even the lawyer claimed she "doesn't know" when all the decisions are final as far as what he says anyone can have.
My point was that it's unbelievable that an executor can just take whatever he wants and tell other heirs they can have only the crap. Even if he can't do that as far as monetary value. Ok, he can say everyone can have all the napkins and he'll take the photo album. It's still completely unfair...
