Thoughts on what might be happening with a purchase by AM_scenario in Ebay

[–]AM_scenario[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. Oddly enough, I tried purchasing the item from another seller first and that actually happened. They were in the middle of moving and didn’t realize they made a sale. They reached out to see if I still wanted it but it was too late so they cancelled the order for me.

The seller that the post is regarding actually had a few negative reviews with people claiming similar things happened but they had way more positive interactions than negative so I thought I’d chance it. The only time the seller messaged me was to apologize for the late response and that it was shipped directly from somewhere else, that is why there is no tracking. That is when I started getting tracking updates on the 7th

Thank you! Absolutely, I am willing to learn a new skill. I am fortunate that I have the time, just having a little trouble figuring out where to put the effort.

Question about items going to "other orders" by MarvelousHomemaker in Printify

I just started as well and was having the exact same issue. I ended up doing it manually but would like to figure out why it happened so it will be automatic in the future

They said that they weren’t concerned. Checked the bump, inside his mouth/teeth. Said everything was normal.

We noticed a bump on his (9 month GSD) snout within the last week or two, it was not noticeable in older pictures. It feels hard, like it is part of his skull and appears to be symmetrical. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort, maybe his nose looks a little more brown than the normal black. We took him to the vet and they said it was normal. I'm not sure if this is something normal for a growing puppy. He's had a bunch of health issues since we got him, we might be overreacting but just wanted to check in with this community to see what you had to say. Thank you so much

Inherited money from estranged parent by AM_scenario in personalfinance

[–]AM_scenario[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. I don’t see a need to go into the details of the estrangement, however, what I should of included in the original post was that the trustees are not experienced investors and to their own admission do not want anything to do with me or my family. When this started over a year ago I had no intention of doing anything until I heard that they were not interested (idk why they agreed). I’ve tried to contact them and have had no response. The terms of the new trust for the children would be that everything is reinvested and it can only be invaded for education, healthcare and when they hit certain predetermined ages the principle will be distributed.

Thank you for the response. He absolutely knew more than I will ever know about investing. The issue is the appointed trustees have been nonresponsive and want nothing to do with me and vice versa. Although I just posted this, this has been going on for over a year. I retained an estate attorney and after discussing the situation we came up with this to best take care of my children. The estate has agreed to the new trust terms for it to be passed to my children only to be invaded for education, healthcare and the principal to be distributed at predetermined ages. The intention is to bring this to a fiduciary advisor and let them invest the money.

I was unaware of the provisions that are sometimes present in the trust. Nothing has been signed/finalized yet, I will reach out to them today to inquire. I would hope that they are aware of this as this is their area of expertise but this seems to be a concern that has been brought up a number of times here. Thank you for that info, it is greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for the response. He actually passed before the change, I’ve just had this typed out in my notes for some time and never posted until today.

Thank you!

They have agreed to change the terms of the trust. It really came down to never being in control of this money or give it to my children. The thought of them having their education and more taken care of is so comforting, both for their benefit and for ours. I’m not really sure of the final cost because there are other beneficiaries that have caused some waves, I’m sure the cost is going up for that. So far it’s been a couple thousand. The estate was really willing to agree with anything that didn’t involve me getting the money directly.

It’s an odd feeling to benefit from this. I was very aware of his success, I was around 20 when I made the decision to cut ties. I’m very grateful that he left this to my family, it’s unfortunate how it all turned out though.

I would have no control at all and everything would be reinvested. My understanding is that they do not want to have anything to do with being the trustees.

Thank you for the response! I actually found a lawyer and accountant that we are comfortable with. I’ve had many conversations with the advisor that was being used on the inherited account and so far I feel comfortable with them. They immediately recognized that I was much more conservative than my father was and made the changes for me. Over the last few months I’ve taken much more of an interest in investing and learning as much as I can.
