  1. I know someone who has asked for their inheritance UP FRONT before the parent passes away!!!! Desperation and poor money management made them do it….made them forget their own parents’ illnesses and needs…made them forget their morals and their values…made them forget everything EXCEPT their need to get that inheritance UP FRONT! As a guardian to an elderly parent, I have to constantly be on guard to outwit these types of family members! AS they can go around the guardian, they can influence the parent, they can pull schemes to try to gain access to funds or housing…all I am trying to do is take care of an elderly person who is in need of care and protection, love and respect until they pass away, then honor the will….this minefield of expected inheritance is fraught with emotional sheninigans!

  2. Found money!!! says

    I got on the missing money site then I went to my state and I found money for my Dad and myself and one brother! Easy as pie to apply for the money…highly recommend everyone do a search….mine is all the way back to 1978 from being a checker at Tom Thumb – must not have received my last check!!!! Yippee!
