Little rant going on here...

I just wanna bitch about this. Just a little.
My Dad died in May, with no savings or insurance (most of his life he recived a disability -no surprise there).
His lawyer calls my brother to sign the probate forms, and there was $80,000 listed in funds under his assets. My brother questions this, and the lawyer insists its legit. Now we are relived, as my older sister & I footed the bill for Dad's funeral & we can get paid back. And the extra $$ wouldn't hurt.
I get sent forms to sign at my lawyers & get home from work to find a message from my brother. There is no money, my Dad's lawyer failed to confirm the accounts before he added them to the assets. Its from an old account from '96 when my Dad sold his house.
Now don't get me wrong, the money would have been nice, I'm a single Mom.
But what pisses me off is the whole emotional thing I've gone through. Everytime I have to deal with his estate I cry & cry because its like living his death over again.
I'd like to kick this asshole in the nuts.

I can relate...this is a little different, but my mom died two years ago and I still can't bring myself to deal with the $8,000 retirement fund she inherited from her parents. It's just a little hassle, some paperwork, but I keep putting it off. I desperately need the money for a new car, too. Maybe now that I've written this I'll just do something about it. It's been hard enough just dealing with my sister, much less lawyers.
