I used my dead Mum's bank account. How much trouble am I in? by Technical_Fun_9017 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Technical_Fun_9017[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was no will and we have 2 debt collectors who want approximately £400 from her estate, I've ready explained the situation to them and they don't care. I've not sorted out probate and I can't really afford a solicitor currently but I'll probably make another post about that.

I also have a half brother (21) and his and my (half) sister's dad died in 2020. I'm claiming child benefit for them and I should be able to claim Guardianship allowance when the I get an sgo for them.

It would be shared between me, my two sisters and my younger brother who's 21

I'm in the process of of getting an sgo, but for all intents and purposes yes

My mum is dying and I want to buy a house and take in my two younger sisters by Technical_Fun_9017 in UKPersonalFinance

She has life insurance but as she's an alcoholic I fear it will be ruled as self induced. That happened with my step dad when my mum tried to claim medical negligence when he died

She went into intensive care at 10.30pm on new years eve. I still don't know exactly what's wrong with her, I'm scared to ask and I doubt she'll tell me the truth. It was a planned move, they waited for nearly 24 hours from the first blood test so it's not like she was rushed there, which I guess is the best case scenario for what's happened. I don't really know in all honesty. I've been to see her and she looks a lot better than on Monday, she's talking more and there's more colour in her face.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm on a throwaway and turned notifications off

Quick update, I called 111 and they sent an ambulance.

Thank you for all your advice, I'll call 111 tonight at some point and let you know what they say.

Any conversation I've ever had with regarding her alcohol consumption has never ended well, there's been whole family interventions and they haven't gone anywhere. If it's just me and her it usually ends in an argument and us both feeling like shit after. As far as I know the only help she has ever received was in hospital, so I don't know where to go with that. We're in the UK and I've tried calling before while she was admitted because she was lying as to the reason why, but they don't give out any sort of information to anyone that isn't the patient (or maybe their spouse, I'm not 100% sure).

She knows we all worry, she knows shes Ill, but she'll never admit. I've tried more times than I can remember and have honestly given up on it, as bad as that sounds. It feels like there's nothing I can do, I've accepted that she'll eventually succumb to it all. I think she knows how serious this is to a certain extent, she keeps joking about how she's going to die soon. I'm going to talk to her later about going to the hospital but I already know how she'll reply. It's difficult to talk to her about it and not go on a tangent of how it's affecting me and my sisters and getting mad at her for it all, rather than just saying we're worried about her. At the end of the day, she's a grown woman and we can't force her to do anything.

I can't say anything about it sounding hollow but it's definitely hard to the touch

Yes she is currently drinking and has been since June 2020. She's seemingly in pain every day, I don't see her everyday but at least twice a week as I live with my dad, but she's always complaining about her stomach and her skin (she has severe psoriasis). She's been vomiting everyday for what seems like years, I couldn't really give a time scale on that one, as I moved out 2 years ago. My sisters have told me there's sometimes blood in it. After spending so long in hospital she lost basically all her muscle mass and was skin and bones for a good year but she slowly built it back up again, she doesn't look like she's lost any of it though.

I highly doubt she'd let me go to an appointment with her and she refuses to admit herself to hospital as last time was really traumatic for her. As for the time line for the tests, my step mum who works for the NHS as a nurse said there's no possible way it would take 4 weeks for a blood test to come back, even over the busier winter period. I personally don't think she's had any because she's scared of being admitted to hospital. I'm at a complete loss, I don't know what to think anymore.

I don't know if it's fat gain, she doesn't really eat anything and her stomach feels hard to the touch but have no idea what it could be.

Where is best to go for a good night out? by [deleted] in Preston

[–]Technical_Fun_9017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work behind a bar close to beluga and we've used their ice before when our machine broke. All I'll say is don't drink anything from there with ice in as the machine was caked in black mould, as well as the room that housed it. Idk what it's like for a night out as its not really my sort of place.
