I am the music.

Although it may just seem I’m in a rut.
In my valley all I do is dance,
When all is silent otherwise, I dance.

Jumping up and down and left and right,
Spiraling through my valley gently curving out of sight,
I am the music.

Or does the world turn under me?
From where I sit there’s little I can see.
There are no other dancers, only me.
But I will let you join me. Dance with me.

I am the music.

Okay, as I suspected, she established a joint tenancy and got him to sign on the dotted line. It may only apply to land and the buildings on it, but it all depends on the language in the document... which should be on file with the County in which the property resides. You can get a copy.

What I learned, the hard way, is that Joint Tenancy (JT) supersedes any previously drawn-up individual wills. Usually that language is in the JT, and it makes the surviving spouse the Executor of the estate.

It is worth finding out who he has named Beneficiary on bank accounts, insurance and stocks as well. I’m not a lawyer or paralegal, mind you, but learned this from experience.

For example, a Deacon at my mother’s church had me removed as Beneficiary on one of her bank accounts and had himself named instead. She probably did not know he was doing that, thought he was “helping” when he took her to the bank. I learned this after she had a stroke and was in hospital. Of course, these people didn’t show up to help with all the caregiving, etc., needed for her.

The best thing that aging parents can do for their children is to start transferring assets while they are still relatively well, setting up trusts, etc.

There are numerous stories of “outsiders” getting into older people’s lives towards the end and influencing them against the best interests of their blood family members, sorry to say.

WENT TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MY NEW LITTLE ADDITION OF MY GRANDDAUGHTER’S WEDDING! REMEMBER THE GUY SHE MARRIED HAD A LITTLE GIRL AND SHE IS A REAL DOLL. HAD FUN!!

[NicknamedBob]

Sheesh!

Lemme turn down my hearing aid ...

[La Enchiladita]

That’s neat, Jaycee. It’s uplifting to be around the young set. (P.S. Did your caps lock get stuck...LOL?)

How old is she? Did her friends play games and things?

[NicknamedBob]

Must have been a noisy party.

Hi Bob, I am pondering the meaning of the post about Dead Corpse. Maybe I am "slow on the uptake?":)

Caffeinated beverages should come with a warning label....

"Caffeinated beverages should come with a warning label...."

They do. But it just says, "Caution: Hot!"

Hi Bob, I am pondering the meaning of the post about Dead Corpse. Maybe I am "slow on the uptake?"

Dead Corpse is an inveterate poster to the "Undead Thread", where he has snagged quite a few *666 posts with a laughing skull image.

That explains my post, but it doesn't explain him.

Some people don't play well with others. I don't play well when I'm alone.
