Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
That's insane. So an executor can simply dictate that other heirs will get all the napkins and he can get all the gold? It doesn't have to be agreed upon how things are split? It is appalling to me how much power Executors have. If I had ever known this I would have never agreed to him being...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
It wouldn't be a problem to divide the album. He can have the pictures of him and I'll take the pictures of me. The problem is he's going to keep everything just to be cruel, even though 50% of it belongs to me.- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
It was my mom's album. Since there was no will, we inherited everything equally. He said I could have the majority of the belongings. I told him the album was missing, he said he took it, and said "No worries, you can have it." Then when he became enraged that I thought he was footing the bill...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Unfortunately, I can't entirely walk away until I have my photo album back. He said, in writing, that he wants to split it. But I am 100% certain he's going to withhold it from me and challenge me to sue him. That means I'll never get my childhood pictures back. I guess my only recourse is...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
I'm trying to make peace because he has all my childhood pictures, the attorney won't demand that he give them to me, and I'm very certain he is going to keep them and tell me "sue me". He said he would split them with me but he keeps deferring any conversation about it. That tells me he's...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Yeah, I wasn't sure. But on the off chance that putting in the claim could have helped, I was willing to forgo my half. It was insane that he turned around and accused me of seeking it for myself. I sent the whole thread to the lawyer. So much for trying to help him.- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Thank you LdiJ. Yes, I completely agree this is all about getting as much money as possible because he says he's stuck with a $7k attorney bill after the estate is declared insolvent. That's why I tried to help him by suggesting he put the reimbursement claim in, assuming the order or...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Yeah I had to cut off contact with him and defer it all to my husband. Brother was complaining about the bill, and as a kind gesture I said "try to see if there's still time for us to make a claim for reimbursement of funeral expenses, you can use my half toward the bill." and he inexplicably...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
That was the agreement. Like I said, she asked me to come home to help her, at HER expense. She got the ball rolling by booking my flight on her credit card. She then intended for me to put everything on her card when I got there. But she fronted me the money, put "loan" on the check, and now...- MellieP

Oh and I already forwarded the info that I showed my brother (flight ticket, bank statements, photos) to the attorney and asked what else she needed. This was wednesday and she has yet to respond. Maybe that's good news, not sure.- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Thanks HRZ, I'll send an invoice and maybe said services were paid by tip expenses. He has been insisting from the start that the attorney is GREATLY concerned about this, "as it could be seen as an attempt to avoid paying creditors" in probate. First he's saying it could be seen as me...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Thank you for letting me know he can't stick me with the bill. When I found out he wasn't footing the bill, and the estate does, and he was very frivolous with his emails to her (racking up her bill) and whoops, estate money is gone, guess "we" have to pay her bill, I felt completely tricked...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Ha, are you telling me it could annoy the executor as a tip or a warning? I'm not sure what you mean by "it would be end game". Mom did *honestly* forgive the "loan". It's annoying that she wrote loan when it really wasn't a loan, when she told me to just put it towards my travel expenses. It...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
He's the executor because he lives in MA where my mom lived. I live in CA. He hired his own lawyer to be the estate lawyer. So it was the practical thing. If I had ANY idea that executors are allowed to get away with the crap he has done to me, I would never have agreed to let him be the...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Yes, that is the dilemma! All I have is my word, and circumstantial evidence that she paid for the flight and that I spent the money on the trip. I also have pictures she asked me to take in rooms she was unable to get into, and witness accounts from people who knew I was there at her expense.- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
That's good to know. Because I'm still a little confused about who is accountable for the attorney's fees. I did not hire her. She was already my brother's attorney. He is the executor. He "invited" me at no cost to me to "piggyback" her services. I told him I had no intention on hiring a...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
Our agreement was that I was coming home to help her, and she was going to pay for the flight, rental car, food, etc. This is no different from her giving me money if I was renting a room from her, and telling me "just use the money toward the rent you owe me in a few weeks". She gave me...- MellieP

Does writing "loan" in a check notation prove there was a loan?
The check was for $1000. I showed him my bank statements, which prove I spent $1066 on the trip. It's all travel expenses. Food, rental car, flight expenses, cash from the ATM. I also showed him proof that my mom purchased the airline ticket. I didn't even notice she had written "loan" on the...- MellieP
