Dropped off the transfer of shares papers to the executor of my grandma’s will today.
I wanted to mail them off so I didn’t have direct contact with the executor but it wasn’t to be.
Drove out of my way and got stuck in a one sided conversation I didn’t really want a part of due to the family feud going on between the executor who is my Aunty and half the family which consequently made me get home later as well.
Hopefully with that out of the way the distribution of the will can go ahead.
Parts of my family suspect that the Aunty has an unfair share of the will or has been stealing or misappropriating funds related to the will. She dumps all her emotional baggage on me because she considers me the nice one of the family but all I wanted to do was run away from her.
It's often the case that when a someone is living, the relatives even though they can't stand each other keep the peace to some degree .
Then they die, the estate and the money comes into the picture and that's when shit starts getting real. That's when folks start to show their true colours.
At least you have one executor. Joint executorship gets even uglier and messier.
I haven’t looked at the will in awhile but there was a slight bias to my aunty’s side which has fuelled this fight and I sort of agree that it was slanted in that way too which I thought was unfair as well.
The problem partly being that she’s the executor as well and also had power of attorney for my grandma.
Anyway I don’t really want to be her emotional dumping ground, i just want this to be done fairly and split properly without stressing me out in the process as I have my own things to worry about.
