  • I need help dealing with my adopted sister and law advice?

    My parents are deceased, first my mother, and now my father, My father raised my mothers 3rd cousin for about 10 years, He never did adopt her, He never has papers for her, And Before she came along it was just me and my older sister, I was the baby of the family, My older sister passed away, and then It was me and my adopted sister, Well, when my father passed away He left everything to me and My older sister, to split between us, and all the furniture to my adopted cousin, Well anyways, My older sister is dead, so my dads lawyer said everything will be split between me and my cousin, well she did not want that, that was not good enough for her, So she gave up, and opted out and called my dads lawyer and told him, to give me everything, So, my lawyer made up a quit deed for her to sign, she signed it, Now the house belongs to me, no problem right? But here is the problem, My dad also had thousands of dollars put away in his name at his bank, and fixed it somehow that all the bills will be going to the bank, and the bank payed the bills auto matically, so we wouldn't haved to do it, Ok, now there's a problem, There is no money in his bank account at all, and We were getting alot of draft bills, My cousin, told me on the phone that she opted out yes, but, she is the beneficiary of his estate, So I haven't talked to her since, Now i am relying on my boyfriends money to pay the bills, Because, I found out that, My adopted sister or cousin took all that money out and she fled, And stole it? I told my lawyer, and the bank managers, who give me bank draft notices, and I don't have to pay bank anything? But she does, they are looking for her and, I did not report her , and, If she calls me should I tell her she owes the bank alot of money? or should I just keep my mouth shut? Also, My dads lawyer never put the will and his estate in probate, Because My father Said no probate, he wishes that nothing goes into probate, and he walked out, and never went back to that lawyer, but he had his will done by him, Now when I went to him, He told me that don't do nothing, that everything is in probate, and to pay him to get everything released into my name, which, I have no money to do that, and my father said NO PROBATE, So what should i do from here??

  • what do you people think? politicians?

    last week in church, the sermon was about taxes, When a 6 yr old boy sitting next to me turned and whispered to his mother who was sitting on opposite sides, said to his mother, The boy asked his mother, Gee mom if i was the president of the united states, I would put a tax on Medicare, Well, At that point do you know how many elders all looked at his direction, and frowned, the woman who was apologetic to the congregation said, hes only a little boy, he doesn't know?? This little boy was so enthused with the tax lecture, that, he thought in his eyes, There should be a tax on life insurance and medical insurance, he proceeded that, what the hell, they had tax on tea, and he babbled on and on and on, and until his mother told him to shut up and quit, God help the people if he decides to run for president in the future, but he had a point, there is tax on houses and cars, ciggies, and tea and coffee, i believe, but his eyes, he thought 5 cents tax on every medicare insurance bill can you imagine??
