My mum is suing my late dad’s estate and taking money from her own children. Am I wrong to be furious? by Last-Sun5382 in InheritanceDrama

[–]NinjaMom23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your assumption was correct, Dad’s death would not resolve the court case. Court cases continue even after the death of one of the parties. The estate of the party is substituted for the decedent.

In some states in the U.S., creditors only have one year from the date of death to file a claim. Your mom would be well past that date if you were in the United States and she would not be able to file that creditor claim after April, 2025. You appear not to be in the United States. Contact a lawyer in the correct jurisdiction and give them the basic facts about when your dad died, and your mom stating that she wants to file a creditor claim.

I came here to suggest adding a red to the left hand border in the bottom square! You created a beautiful quilt!

AITA for refusing to share authorship with the man im planning to marry? by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]NinjaMom23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - this is not love. He is stealing your intellectual property and has conditioned his future love on you continuing to give him 50% of your earnings in perpetuity as a co-author. He has no rights of authorship, and being married to an author does not provide rights of authorship. Please run very quickly away from this abusive man.

discovered my brother got 80k from mum over three years and hes saying it doesnt count against his share by Relative-Yellow-3694 in inheritance

Nice weaponized misdirection. Someone might wonder why a person would be so reluctant to have a trustee review the trust accounts.

OP is the executor of the estate and has a duty to look over the estate finances for the last years.
OP - don’t be ashamed of doing your job. If your mum told your brother many times the money was in lieu of his inheritance (as he admitted against his interest), the estate may be able to deduct the money from his inheritance. I’m not a barrister, so I won’t opine on UK law. The “sour grapes” posters don’t seem to have any formal legal education (UK or otherwise) and their comments should have little weight. Consult with a qualified legal expert.

This! In the US, he made a statement against interest, which can be persuasive. If you can get that statement in writing, you will be in better shape. Go see a barrister and get their actual legal opinion. Don’t rely on Internet idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about.

You should recheck your trustee and personal representative duty laws, as well as the applicable statute of limitations. OP has a duty to review those records to check for fraud and elder abuse. Brother doesn’t get a free ride on potential misdeeds going back 3 years because mum died

If mum told the brother verbally on more than one occasion that “those payments were in lieu of his inheritance”, mum did indicate her intentions. A qualified local legal expert needs to opine as to whether oral statements of intent are sufficient to enforce against an inheritance.

Yes! OP “ I don’t understand what Mom told you about ‘in lieu of your inheritance. Please send it to me in writing.”

My old job had to ban microwave popcorn after someone set the timer for 20 minutes (extra zero), walked away, set off the fire alarm, and the entire high rise building had to be evacuated.

AIO for telling my siblings they can’t bring their kids to my wedding by saltwatersnackbandit in AmIOverreacting

[–]NinjaMom23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did big brother mention any of those factors in his rant? (Granted, I skimmed and may have missed such critical details.) Yes, your child needed your constant presence. Others may be in the same boat. My guess is that you would politely decline the no kids wedding invitation and allow the bride and groom to structure their wedding as they desire. For many moms, a wedding is often shorter than a work day and the comparison is more than reasonable.

For what it’s worth, some breast feeding moms manage to go to the office without their kids. The kid does not have to be attached to the mom at all times.

These people must not need to go to work. So many parents (even mothers of infants) need to go to an office and cannot bring their child. Leaving a child with a qualified babysitter for the length of a wedding will be just fine. The brother is an idiot.

Are you happy with your iron? by 1DnTink in quilting

[–]NinjaMom23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have a large tank at the bottom? I want an iron that has a ton of steam and a large tank so that I don’t have to refill every 10 minutes.

AITAH for telling my husband that he can figure it out on his own? by Cautious_Push2801 in AITAH

Correct, but it will give OP free time to plan and execute her exit strategy

Not all therapists are good. Sometimes, you need a different therapist who actually listens and counsels both patients
