@Grimm, wish you could get a different attorney that would actually take action. Hope he doesn't get a dime of any inheritance if you ever end up getting any of it. Sorry to hear your parents aren't being helpful or understanding about the situation. It's so frustrating when people get away with not turning over inherited assets like that. I hope you get interest that should have accrued on any $ you were slated to get.
My friend was supposed to inherit his late grandmother's house. Since he was a child when his grandma died, they put the house in his father's name and his mother's name. Instead of passing his father's share to him when the father died, his Mom somehow had his father's name taken off the deed and has it solely in her name and uses it to manipulate him. It's one of the reasons he's trying to get out of that house bc he doesn't believe she'll ever sign the deed over to him. Even though he pays the taxes and fixed it up so it's livable (as per the agreement to get it turned over in his name), she has reneged. The house would belong to the city now and would not be livable if not for us.
Friend's Mom is so entitled that she barged into his house while we were over visiting to go use his washing machine. Only he still had wet clothes in the washer. Did she take them out and put them in the dryer? Did she ask him if she could use his dryer or say anything to him? Did she even say "hello" to him? Nope. She marched straight to the machine, opened it, threw his wet clothes on the dirty floor (she tracked in dirt from outside) and then put her stuff in the wash. He didn't find out she did that until his wife got home and wanted to know why their stuff was on the floor wet. Friend was pretty pissed about it, but he's too much of a doormat to stand up to her. If it'd been me, her clothes would be out on the porch, my clothes would be back in the wash, and her code to the door would be removed. If she tries to evict him we take everything we put into the house-- the metal roof, the flooring, the cabinets, the shower, the washer & dryer, the fridge, the stove, the microwave, the toilet, the vanity.... All of it. Chances are she won't bother to try to evict him though. She'll just whine and guilt-trip him.
While we were visiting his grandfather stopped in front of the house in his SUV about 3 times. Each time he sat there laying on the horn for several minutes before driving off. Don't know if he came back after we left, but old man does that about 10x per day. Turns out he owes my friend about $30k but refuses to pay him back. He actually tells people that my friend owes him money. Found out he rolls up to Walmart and lays on the horn until an employee comes out and then demands they get stuff for him or demands they bring him a riding cart. He also apparently sexually harasses and stalks younger female employees. It sucks that my friend has such jerks in his family on both sides. His mom acts like he owes her. She didn't even raise him. When she did spend time with him when he was little she abused him and allowed him to be abused by her boyfriends.
Meanwhile, my brother decided to ruin my birthday-- which was already going bad bc I was sick. My sister called to wish me happy birthday and my brother also picked up the line. He decided to dominate the conversation, interrupt me, talk over me, and then scream at me when I was trying to tell her something because he wanted to tell her. So I hung up and sent her a message explaining that I was already feeling cruddy and didn't need to have him being a dick to me. He's got main character syndrome so badly I don't think he knew or even cared that I hung up. He knew it was my birthday too-- but only because I told him. Then a couple hours later he barged into my room to yap at me while I was listening to music and trying to take my meds. I didn't respond to him so he called me an a-hole several times before storming out.
Oh, and when I finally got him to take some trash bags out (ones I'd previously asked him to tie off and take out) he complained that I didn't tie them off for him and how inconvenient it was-- it's his job to take out the trash but he doesn't do it. Anyway, I asked him to take them out to the burn pile. Went out the next morning to find he just dumped them all on the steps. So I had to move them out of the way for Mom to get out of the house.
Next gripe is idiot drivers who don't know what a Stop sign is and don't understand right of way. I was driving home when some clown in a pickup truck coming from a side road just blew through a stop to make a left turn in front of me and an oncoming vehicle. Oncoming vehicle was in the turn lane with a left turn signal but still had right of way over this clown. I was going straight so I had right of way over both of them. Not only did he pull out without stopping, he also went so slowly that he blocked both lanes and I had to come to a complete stop to avoid hitting him. I laid on the horn, flipped him off, and waited for him to get out of the way. Then the oncoming vehicle veered to its right instead of turning left, followed him and turned the blue lights on. Sheriff Department vehicle. Instant karma.
