Here is a slight heads up for people who do not deal with lawyers. No advice - no recommendations.
My mother passed away June 20, 2010. She had no will, no insurance. No lawyer would touch the estate unless it was worth $250,000. No retainer. Under $250,000 - out of luck.
I have a feeling I'm going to regret moving into this house and caring for her for the last three years while she was lying on the couch (she could not walk to the bedroom we set up for her) hooked up to an oxygen machine. Did I mention my sister is on disibility due to "severe mental retardation"? No?
Shit happens, you make your choices. My choice is to take of family no matter what the cost. My kids are both in college, my mom left almost 6 figures of debt. Regardless of what happens to me and my life, my children will finish college, my mother's debt's will be paid - and no-one will take my sister out of this house.
Family above all. I am irrelevant in this equation. If it was just me, I would not care.
Wish me well.
