You are such a VERY private person. All of that must have been hard to share!

fricking weak OT


Sorry Sir,
This is not a troll. Sadly my mother did die (as did my little sister). These are not things I would ever joke about or use as an excuse to troll. Oh how i wish this was just a trolling post. i would give anything to have them back.

1. This situation is none of your husband's business.
2. You spent too much money too soon.
3. Years ago, my father had a joint bank account with his mother. He died suddenly. When my grandmother went to the bank to withdraw money, she told them my father had died. The bank blocked the account until probate was completed.

Damn, you sound like a "stuff whore". He's right, you are showing what you would do if afforded the opportunity to spend freely - frivolously.

You abused the estate.If are other heirs you could be in legal trouble.

Gotta be some inbreeding going on there, especially since the great grandparents are only in their 80s

Depending on the size of the estate your mother left, it could be subject to inheritance taxes, so all that money you are spending may be also be taxable as well. Beyond the legal and tax ramifications of her estate, bank accounts and property it sounds like you are spending her money on trinkets that will have no lasting value. It's hard for me to believe a parent would wish their child to waste their life's savings and property on jewelry.

If she had no will, the State she resided in has its own laws and procedures regarding the way her estate is to be divided. From what you've said, it doesn't sound very buttoned up. I have a feeling you will be required to pay back all that cash you spent on trucks, watches and jewelry. Someone in your family will wake up and come after you one day.

Sorry about your mom but this is the epitome of white trash.

These gifts are expensive things such as engraved watches for the boys, gold charm bracelets for the girls, handmade glass paperweights with mom's ashes in them


WTF?

My husband feels this is a waste of money and is sacrilegious that we are dealing with mom's remains this way.

He's right.

I have a feeling this is bullshite.

A fricking waste of money. A depreciating asset and stupid purchases.

Yes.

Your husband really shouldn't have any say in what you do with your mom's remains/ashes, but frivolous spending in the wake of her death isn't a good route.

Now, if he just wants you to keep all that money for you and him and not share with the rest of the family, that's wrong too, especially since it seems like you are pretty close with that side of your family.

Less frivolous spending, more prudent saving.

No. She may have killed a large copperhead. But she did not kill a 6 ft one.

Also, in Louisiana having a joint account with someone doesn't make you their sole heir. Access and ownership are not the same.

Spending that money on that much stuff without spending some on a competent estate lawyer is irresponsible.

You've gotten some advice in this thread that you needed but clearly didn't want (Stout's posts and similar). Laugh it off and discard it but it's correct. Your sister's presumed acquiescence is of little legal merit.

Sort of confused by this as she's said she only had one "sib" and said "sib" was the one she had to wrestle control of her mother from a few months ago. Iirc, the sister was "stealing" and "hiding" all of her mother's money so she jumped in to save the day....


I'm afraid gingerkittie is either a) spewing bullshite as per always or b) sharing half of the story or c) seeking approval from the OT for something she knows is wrong

You are wrong for marrying a low class selfish prick.

Everything else is what comes with associating with trash.

No. If that is what your mom wanted then go with it.

All you married people with his and her money are nuts, especially if you have kids. Am I the only one that thinks that a husband and wife should manage their money together? What if one person is responsible and the other is a economic moron? Makes zero sense to me.


Agreed you can't have a successful marriage if you can't even manage your finances together.

She talks about it all of the time like it's some vast piece of property


I thought she'd said before in another thread that it was only like 100 acres or something before. That's not quite the vast compound property I was envisioning.
She's just an attention whore, who's VERY private and I suspect lives in a trailer on a concrete pad and dreams of this land she claims to own.

Plus seems like everytime she starts a thread someone is dying or dead.
