Here we are at not only the end of a quarter but also the end of the year. We are swamped here at the office, plus I was out the week I spend in Georgia so I have been playing catch up for the past week and a half. I wrote before that the end of the quarter is always busy since we are trying to ship as much out as we can. The end of the year increases the stress level by 25% because we really want to get everything out as we close the year.
On top of this, there has been distressing news regarding my brother's estate. 2nd son (you know the one who did nothing regarding the apartment and who made absolutely no arrangements at the mortuary leaving me with all the responsibilities and payments, then left the day before his father's memorial service) has applied to be the administrator of Frank's estate. The legal notice appeared in the town Newspaper. Fortunately my wise cousin Joan has been searching the web using Frank's name to see what's out there and has found some things on line issued from 2nd son which are extremely disturbing to me, the request to be named administrator of the estate being the highest item. While he has asked the courts to name him administrator, he has done absolutely nothing about Frank's apartment or car, leaving the responsibilities up to Frank's boss and his wife to clean out the apartment and store the car on their property.
It's obvious that 2nd son is only hoping to expedite the probate of the estate so that he can get his hands on the money faster. Since I have no doubt that 2nd son has no intention of repaying me, I have contacted an attorney in that area and asked him to file a claim against the estate on my behalf.
All this saddens me. This is not what I expected of my brother's legacy. It's shabby and goes against everything I believe in. This is how my nephew has dragged me into his low life world and it makes me very angry, but to allow him to keep my money when he has done absolutely nothing, makes me even angrier. How it will end, I have no idea. I just cannot give up the fight.

Keep fighting the good fight. He only wants the expediency, but you are doing the work, indeed, the loyal and good thing for the memory of Frank. You are doing the right thing, please keep up the fight.
Ina, you are doing the right thing.
You will be rewarded for it at some point, when you least expect it.
Sorry you are having so much stress and sadness at this time of year.
You know that we support you 110%!!!
We are here for you as family through thick and thin.
thanks for the good thoughs everyone. It's nice having the support. At least I know 2nd son won't have any support in Georgia except for his lawyer.
