and impending father

just weird. Finally got around to calling the lawyer for gmils and notarized the paperwork for mils. Need to hire the lawyer for fil's though.

is children ok

Huh

If I was one of the lawyers dealing with all this for you, I'd assume you're just going around killing old people to steal their stuff.

You are, aren't you?

Ugh. I did two parents-in-law within a year of each other: that was a lousy year. The stuff management was terrible. In my case both deaths rather unexpected: here's hoping their affairs were mostly in order in your case.

The deaths are over the course of almost 2 years. I had nothing to do with any of them. Legally speaking.

My mother in laws was bad. Her place was a hoarder stash and she hadnt done her mail in what looked like a year. And we were 2k miles away from home so I ended up leaving a ton of trash and stuff for the landlord to deal with.

Gmils Im not involved with directly. My wifes aunt is deal with that one and that ones been a mess. One of her children was squatting on the property for 2 years. Theyre getting ready to finally sell the property. The only reason were seeing anything from it is because mother in law died.

Father in law is easy and we didnt even know we had to do anything until I found mail from his bank account in mother in laws place. We need to get a lawyer to deal with that because the account had mil as the beneficiary.

my grandfathers in also not doing anything about it but I own 1/4 of the house now. Its most waiting while one of my uncles gets his shit out of the house so it can be sold and my aunt is dealing with that.

my fathers well Im already working on and almost caught up on all his bills. Ill own 20% of this house and Im cleaning it up while hes in the hospital. There will be a lot of junk going into a dumpster, some stuff going to my siblings, and theyre supposed to let me have the house.

My father-in-law had significant mental health issues: he greatly damaged his duplex smoking inside, cutting holes in the walls, etc. Coming on the heels of dealing with my mother-in-law's estate we cleaned it up a bit but were too exhausted to pursue the property/repairs with limited equity: we ultimately didn't pursue the estate and let the bank have it.

My mother-in-law's estate was oddly more difficult: she had a ton of stuff, unresolved bills/issues, and equity in the house we tried to capture. Selling a townhouse that nobody intended to sell wasn't fun.

And of course my wife's siblings were out of state/absent or unhelpful. It wasn't really their fault, but that was the reality.

Ouch what a pain. My father in law lived in a trailer on someone elses property. Mother rented. Grandmother in law owned but the house is literally worthless. Theyre only selling the land. The house and other structures are tear downs.

my grandfather and father broth own/owned their houses. Luckily it shouldnt be too hard to deal with.

Either way: that's a lot at once - good luck!
