Okay.
Earlier this summer, my BF's mother passed away unexpectedly and tragically. My BF was the only child and his parents are divorced, so he had the sad duty of becoming the administrator of her "estate". She had quite a bit of debt, and no assets except a bank account, a little bit of cash and a car. Of course, when someone dies, there is a lot of legal crap to deal with. So my step-mom the lawyer offered to handle all of it for us. (She is wonderful, and like the rest of my family, considers my BF part of the family.) She's doing a great job.
BUT....
We got a freakin' letter from one of her credit cards and copy of an affidavit which was filed in the state where her estate was! They KNOW that there is a lawyer representing the estate and that they are to send ALL corresponance and calls to that lawyer!! They even tried to call my BF to harrass him for money AFTER they had notice that he has a lawyer and that everything is handled by HER!! They didn't even send a copy of this legal notice to our lawyer. ::censor::censor::censor::
I am so mad I could spit.
I almost called the credit card company and cussed some people...they know d@mn good and well that there is a lawyer handling this and that they are to send everything to her.
It's like trying to get blood from a stone, anyway...my BF's mother had just enough to pay for the funeral and burial....
Add to that we are fighting with her bank trying to get them to acknowledge that she had a life insurance policy, which they say she didn't have, but my BF and I WATCHED her sign papers for at the bank....
Sorry for that....
I just had to vent a bit. I am frustrated and angry.
