Relatives and Their Idiocy
It wouldn't surprise me if some of my "relatives" or "family as they like to call themselves are reading this. So why don't I give them something else to talk about? After all, they do know everything about everything. Nurses and attorney's are now experts in GAAP (accounting) rules and also, more importantly, family relationships. Hmmmm, interesting.
First, GAAP rules do not apply when talking about a last will and testament. Look it up! Those rules apply to actual accounting processes, not the disclosure of finances. If one actually looked at the spreadsheet, there was no actual accounting process done. That was not the point. It was an informational spreadsheet only. Which, if the explanation that was given had been read thoroughly, was explained.
Second, poor me act, my ass. You are all unbelievable! It was explained that Tony had prepared the spreadsheet, she had just forwarded it on. It was other people who chose to belabor the point.
Third, it was explained during one of the first demands (yes, demands...not requests) for information that the "last illness" expenditures were accounting for dates from December until the passing in April. Therefore....not 6 years of expenditures. I would think a nurse would know the massive amount of money that is spent in a short amount of time for home health care. Of course, that depends on your nursing specialty....which, if I am not mistaken is not for end of life care.
Fourth, it was asked that all other demands for information go through the attorney. NOT anyone else, through the attorney. Although, since nothing else was respected in this whole process, why should that be respected as well. If the money truly doesn't matter, what the hell does it matter if you sign the stupid papers or not? Unless there is wording holding you personally liable for something, it doesn't matter. Of course, you could be lying. Imagine.
It's amazing how death brings out the best and the worst in people. There seems to be no middle ground. Family...as someone wise would say, "HA!". This isn't a family. Blood does not make a family. Clearly.
