I Think it's Way Too Late

[1313]

The Lawyer day:
Yesterday my Mother's L called. He's been trying to figure out how to handle her will, as we want my W pulled off. Unfortunately, Mom has the original documents. Literally the day I was moving in, Mom was waving around what looked to be the original document, saying she wanted the W off. I said please, put that back in your file, I'll look at it but I really can't right now.

I should have taken it right then and there. I believe she threw it away, like so many other things. Yes, I search the garbage daily - but she sneaks. The L is aware of 2 wills, one goes to me and in case of my demise, her sister. The newer one in case of my demise goes to the W. And, there's nothing my Mom could do about it.

Thing is, we don't know the whereabouts of the new one for sure. We don't know if she got it notarized. We don't know if it's in somebody's office. Nor do we know the whereabouts of the original one. The L only has copies of copies, and they're incomplete. Mom never returned either. We've verified she has no safe deposit box. We think. The rough draft - which I did find has "safe deposit" scribbled on it.

A new will cannot be drafted, because Alzheimer's. The L has talked to Mom, unfortunately. He's even talked about the possibility of drafting a new one, but thinks she's just not together enough.

So for the next couple of days I have to try to find these documents.

In addition, I've got a lot of stuff to pull together for my L because our court date is in 2-1/2 weeks.

Funny that the W is going off with the OM in 2-1/2 weeks, and meeting up with the RE coach in AZ. It would be interesting to see how the W handles introducing the guy to the coach, who's a devout Mormon and pretty sharp. I'm guessing she'll save him for another time.
