ripped off by ex husbands family.

Tweet

a few months ago my ex husbands mother passed away. She was a manipulating and controlling woman, but I was divorced so it didn't have to deal with it. We did see each other for a visit at least 2 times a month until she she became so overcome with dementia that she pushed away every one and was placed in a home. When she was well and living on her own she told me that she was leaving her grand children $5000.00 each, in the scheme of things this was a tiny amount of her estate, as her husband had provided for her very well. I waited for a month after her death and phoned my ex husband to see if he had heard any thing, No he said his sister was looking after everything and the kids would hear in about 3 months. After 3 months I told my daughter to phone grandmas lawyer and see what was going on. She phoned, and this is what she was told. There was no estate to probate as the daughter got her mom to sign every thing over to her and then put her in a home, No will no estate no probate. Now what gets my in craw is This woman had left a house and about 60 thousand dollars to her daughter, as well as over a 100 thousand to her son my ex husband. When I phoned him and asked him to look into this, he assured me he would. As usual he never did. but I think he was paid off a long time ago when his sister got all the money and gave him about 15 thousand and said that is all that is left. What I don't understand is why a low life like him would allow this to happen to his own children. I know there is nothing I can do about it now but it still bugs me that my children were once again left out, they never in their life received so much as a birthday card, while her twin grandsons up until they were in their late 30ts were given lavish gifts . I do not know why these people have to be so greedy. and I am glad I am no longer a part of that rotten family
