At the moment, my family are going through hell.
My "dear" brother, who has visited Mum 8 times in 2 years, despite being less than 5 minutes away from her, has suddenly become "concerned for her financial future."
Mum's solicitor was paid to register the EPA held by Mum's brother and my husband last April but failed to do so.
They only discovered this when the sale of Mum's home was being processed in early February....... Uncle phoned them twice last year to check on the progress and was told it was arranged! Apparantly a locum had been dealing with it and had abandoned the process halfway through.
Up pops my brother, knowing the house would have to be sold early this year,he has been to a solicitor and is opposing the registration on grounds that are spiteful and untrue.....
1/ there is no plan in place to make the most money from the house sale.
2/ the house cannot be sold to a family member at a low price........valuations were made before the price was agreed.
3/ the house should be sold on the open market...well as my daughter and her husband have been paying a huge chunk of her fees whilst living there for the past two years, was it wrong to offer them first refusal on buying it at a fair market price also saving on estate agent fees.
4/ he is being denied access to Mum's bank statements (true, but so are my sister and I as we trust them, as did Dad when he arranged the EPA)
Now, Mum is in her EMI home with no funds to pay her fees after this month, if this drags on much longer, the time limit on our daughters mortgage agreement will run out and they will have to re-apply.
I know this is a ploy to get his hands on his inheritance, he has a history of being less than honest in financial dealings, but it is so hurtful to think he can go to a solicitor pretending to be such a caring son and cause a huge amount of trouble and worry to the rest of the family.
How much longer it is going to drag on is anyones guess.
I am so tired and upset about everything. Mum and Dad worked so hard for so long to leave something for we three children, but to my sister and I, our inheritance, if any, comes at too high a price...........the loss of a Mum we love to pieces.
How can one person throwing a tantrum cause so much trouble.
The only comfort is that Mum is unaware of it all and the home is happy to keep her there until this is resolved.
On a lighter note Bruce and co, this one handed typing took only 25 minutes, I am getting better at it at last.
Sorry to moan, just needed to get it off my chest.
