A woman and her husband are going through two family losses, while the mother-in-law is trying her best to get ALL the money.
The Lowdown.
A woman’s father-in-law went into hospital at the same time her mother-in-law was recovering from surgery.
“DH [dear husband] got stuck running his errands for them both and received zero appreciation. This also left no one to take care of FIL’s dad, who was quite old. DH also got stuck with that. GFIL was also unappreciative.”
Shady Business.
“FIL never made it out of the hospital. MIL got a good-sized chunk of change from life insurance. She pretended like she was ready to make amends. We played happy family for a bit until her true colors started showing again. MIL also insisted we set up a new trust for GFIL through her attorney. The whole thing feels shady.”
The Grandfather-in-law Also Passed Away.
“A few months later, GFIL was also hospitalized with COVID. At the same time, MIL was also hospitalized with an unknown illness. GFIL doesn’t make it out of the hospital. All of his end-of-life medical decisions and estate dealings were originally supposed to fall to MIL (who always hated her in-laws), but since she was incapacitated, all of this fell to DH per the trust.”
They Went Out Of Their Way To Help.
This meant cleaning the GFIL’s home, hiring a realtor, closing his accounts, and taking care of any paperwork, etc. It was a lot of time-consuming, exhausting work.
“The second all the hard work is done and the house is ready to list, MIL makes a miraculous recovery and demands to take back charge, stating that since she is no longer incapacitated, she is legally the executor.”
Scheming Woman.
The MIL’s “illness” seemed to fall at a very convenient time.
“While she was sick, she refused to get anything notarized, stating that she was too ill to do all this, so even though everything was 90% done, we had no leg to stand on to keep her from taking back control at the finish line.”
It’s All Incredibly Fishy.
The woman explained the MIL was a complete aggravation during the sale of the house, and every one of her actions was extremely “shady.”
“Really felt like she was trying to screw us anyway she could. This money would be life-changing, so we refused just to roll over and let her handle it. To her, it was just more money she didn’t really need, but to DH, SIL, and I, this was a big deal.”
Blindsided.
“House finally sold. MIL demanded that DH meet her immediately to cash the check and remove himself from the Trust’s bank account. It had been opened in his name while he was handling things. It was a nice way to ensure that no funny business happened with the money. But she had him removed and herself put on the account today, so we can no longer see what is happening.”
All The Expenses Had Been Paid – So They Were Due Their Share.
The husband and his sister asked the mother when they would see their share, but the mother fobbed them off.
“She said that she wouldn’t be paying them until all of the ‘trust expenses’ had been handled. DH had already paid for everything. The realtor had been paid. Housing taxes paid. He even met with an accountant this week to discuss how much, if any, we would need to set aside for taxes when it is transferred from the trust to us.”
Still No Money.
The mother-in-law kept coming up with reasons not to give them their inheritance.
“SIL demanded an itemized list of what exactly the expenses would be, and MIL said she would get it to her later. DH was beyond livid. He has been pushed around and treated badly his entire life by his family and this was the final straw.”
He’s Threatening Legal Action.
The husband is sick of his mother’s behavior.
“He told me that just based on what has already happened, she might as well be dead to him. No more holiday visits. No more nonessential communications. No more helping MIL clean out her house. If we don’t get the money in two weeks for the correct amount, he is getting an attorney.”
They’re Prepared To Give Her Hell.
“And have documentation proving what is rightfully theirs, as well as texts from the MIL when she was supposedly incapacitated.
I told him that he should let her know that he was prepared to get a lawyer involved if she didn’t do the right thing, but he said he was not in the right space to even talk to her right now. He has always wanted to keep some semblance of peace with his family, but he is out of the FOG now.”
They Spoke With A Lawyer.
The lawyer told them that, unfortunately, there’s not much they can do except wait and hope that the mother-in-law does the right thing.
