It's been a looonnng month already

Well, I hate the month of March anyway and have for 7 years now (since my father passed away) and now I have even more reason to hate it! My darling mother in law passed away on 3/12 between 4 and 6 am. She was 91 years old and more of a mother to me than my own mother!
She was a wonderful, caring, loving, and tender person who became ill with "symptoms resembling Alzheimer's" (that is what they HAVE to call it now---this PC stuff kills me!) several years ago. When her dh passed away 4 years ago, she became even more confused and her "darling" (very loose term here) daughter came up and whisked (kidnapped) her to NC.
She didn't want to go with her, but she wasn't really given a choice. Then, the next thing dh and I knew, HS (half-sis) was selling the house and Really moving her down there (to stay)!! We were very mad and upset we weren't consulted about the move and/or the selling of the house.
Well, after MIL died, I was at the bank on Monday (3 days after she died and 2 dies before graveside service) and there was a lady who used to work at the other branch where MIL and FIL did all their banking! She asked about MIL and I had to tell her the sad news. She commiserated with me for a little bit and then she asked about FIL. I was shocked! I told her he had passed away 4 years ago and SHE was shocked! Apparently no one had ever notified the bank he had died, so they were sending tax info to the IRS under a dead man's SS number! What a mess!
So, MIL's money all got frozen because of her death. Now, HS came up Monday nite. First thing Tues morning, she went to the bank to take out all the money (she had POA) and "split" it between her and dh . Boy was she pissed when she found out her POA was no longer valid (hello, MIL was dead! ) and was told by the bank to contact executor of the will! giggle giggle giggle!!
Before this, HS was telling DH that she had no idea where executor was, where she lived, how to get in touch with her, that she was ill, and bedridden and wouldn't want to do ti anymore! Well, after she went to the bank, she apparently was able to find the executor without any trouble!
Executor came to visitation/graveside service and was quite surprised when DH told her everything HS had said! She was a little perturbed she had not been told that MIL had died (considering MIL was her aunt) and even more so when she found that because HS had told her it was "mom's wish" {translation--HS's wish} that FIL's will not be probated, the bank had been making a HUGE booboo for 4 years!
What a mess this is!!
Of course, now it's all in the executor's and probate court's hands and I certainly hope DH doesn't get shafted again! It's not like we only want the money, but he only wants his share! I don't see anything wrong with that. I almost wish there had never been any money, that way HS wouldn't have come up and basically kidnapped my MIL!!!

Stay tuned for more on my life in the soap opera......
