Sophie and I are no longer speaking because she made a very bad mistake.She asked me how much money that my father left me and my mother and brother and this is a very sore issue to me.My sainted father died on 11/1/1987...one month after my 40th birthday.Daddy was in the hospital and he signed himself out because he wanted to go home.He came home and just lived 10 minutes and guess what? My sainted father died in my arms and I cradled his head on the floor.I will never forget that day...and if Frank was alive..neither will he.Daddy was a wonderful father and I wanted him to live to see that I am on the road to recovery...Guess what? My late father had a American Express card and we got a bill in the mail one week after the funeral.He owed them 3,000 and they wanted payment but my mother and I didnt know anything about it.We got a lawyer and it was never heard from again.My late father left me in 1987...he left me 5,000.00.That was a lot of money and he knew that I needed it to make a break from that lousy town.Guess what? I have never received it and I have to wait until I am 70! My late mother always resented me and met this idiot at a party.She took my money and Franks and it is in an annuity..And I just cant collect..if I take the total amount..it will be a cut..I would have to pay 18% on taxes...Frank collected his money and he had bad luck with it...so did my other brother...but my money is being held up by this idiot in Chicago and I dont even know his name...The seniors at the center told me that I should collect what it is due me...but can I find out? My mothers will was just so evasive...and right now with Brad in rehab...I would really need it...How many of you were cheated out of inheritance? My mother stopped speaking to me in 2003..She refused to discuss where the money was and I dont know if this guy is alive...I looked in her papers..but what should I do?

Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower. My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings". When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker. She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me. I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
Wasn't this money set aside in a will for you? If it was, your mother couldn't touch it legally. It is yours.
I was the executor of my son's estate and everything went thru a lawyer. I paid all outstanding expenses and the rest went to my son's 3 children. I had to account for each of the amounts placed in their accounts and it is legally theirs when they turn 18.
I don't see how your mom could legally tie you inheritance up like this. You might want to consult an attorney to see what your rights and entitlements are.
