My wife and her sister inherited a house and property this week. The sister gets 80%, my wife gets 20%. Sounds good, huh? Well, the house was owned by the same person that gave me this truck a few years ago.
The old guy died this past Wednesday morning. He bought this house about 2 years ago and Joane and her sister stopped by one day and they said he had a mess but he was just getting settled after moving in. No one had been to his place since. He and the sister had a falling out and he just went away for a while. I saw him around town now and then driving a Hyundai. I saw his car at WalMart one day and walked by it. I looked inside and it looked just like that Dodge truck.
He came back around recently and said he was sick and going to need surgery and wanted the sister to drive him to the hospital when it was time. He went for the pre-op visit and they took him straight to the hospital. This was on Friday, he died Wednesday morning.
Since Joanne is down with her ankle, I went with SIL to the house to look for the will and any other important documents. I found the will and it stated the 80/20 split. I expected the place to be a mess but, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. How do people live like this?
This guy sold a house in December of 2022 and came away with over $215K in his pocket. He blew every penny and this is all he has to show for it, plus a lot of credit card debt. SIL is the executor of the estate and she has an appointment with the lawyer on Monday. The person that owns the joining property has already made an offer to take it as is. I would accept his offer, if it was me. But, there may be money owed on the house and the lawyer will let her what she can do. Meanwhile, I have my fingers crossed for a lightning strike.
It's Raining Trucks!
