Two of his siblings (one in the 7th state) are well-to-do. They don't work and married into successful families. The other sibling is my parent. My parent owns his own business, but it's a small business so it's not exactly lucrative, but it's what my parent worked for since 1979. My parent is the only employee, but will have friends work to help when needed.
The other two siblings were flying (via JET) as they have the money to do so and have frequent flying miles (because they jet all the time everywhere). They wanted my parent to also go out to help clean out my uncle's home and drive my uncle's vehicle back across country.
My parent ended up taking the TRAIN out there because flying last minute was pretty costly. This morning, he ended up NOT taking the car back because you simply cannot add a car to your insurance policy that does not belong to you nor one that you have no vested interest. One sibling (the 7th state'er) just thinks they (that sib) is always correct about everything and apparently just didn't think that was correct. My parent got on the phone with my other parent who knows insurance laws in our home state and proceeded to put the 7th state sibling on the phone since it was that one who was arguing.
This sibling asked my parent back at home "What if someone purchases a vehicle out of state?" to which the reply was "Then a person would have a bill of sale to show ownership!".
Duh.
So that sibling had the balls of brass to say to my other parent "You just didn't want your spouse to have that car, did you?"
Seriously? SERIOUSLY! I am hoping like all hell my parent stood up for his spouse. Rude effin' in-laws SUCK ASS. HAIRY ass, at that. Did I mention that sib is LIBERAL? Imagine that.
They called Progressive. Progressive was the company my uncle utilized for auto.
No. You CANNOT add yourself to someone's auto policy as a driver. Only the policy holder can do that.
Duh. That's just common sense.
Oh. The policy older is dead? Progressive cancelled the policy.
Smooth move, ex-lax. SMH
But get this one. Oh, my parent couldn't just transfer the title, either, in thy name. Nope. That had to be put into EXECUTOR sibling's name first. Yep. We told them all this previously, as well, but they don't listen. We just went through this with my OTHER parent's mother three years ago. But, these people just think THEY are correct. These types are the ones that do not know what it is to really need and/or want. They've always had things at the tip of their fingers. They had nannies. Their grandchildren think Disney Cruises are just as commonplace to people as going to a movie! I am not even kidding! It's revolting. For the record, I've NEVER been on a Disney Cruise. I've never been to Florida! I've worked since I was been 15 years old and live in a 900 sq foot home! I love thrift stores and children's consignment stores because THAT is what is currently in MY budget.
OK..anyway. On with the story to get to my point of the above. Sibling 1 (not 7 or parent) has a kid who is CEO of a company. He claims his "buddy" lawyers told him differently and that you CAN take the car.
Yes. You CAN take the car. NO, you CANNOT insure it and it would SUCK HAIRY BALLS to have an incident and have no COVERAGE. Dumb fucker.
So here is my question to them all. If it has to go to the one executor sibling first, why is MY PARENT taking time out of my parent's biz and spending money to travel all the way out there?
Let me guess. Because NOBODY ELSE wants to drive it across the country?
DING! Tell them what they've won, Johnny!
Nailed it. Ain't nobody like them got time to be driving across country in a 2006 Cavalier! Come on! So they wanted my PARENT to do the dirty work.
Needless to say, my parent REFUSED to drive it under those circumstances. Guess what? My parent is back on the fuckin' train home. The other two? Jetting. Probably first class at that. SMH. Did they even OFFER to fork out money to buy my parent a PLANE ticket back? I don't know. I hope to hell they did and my parent just decided not to fly. It would be pretty effin rude to not offer.
DO NOT trust your siblings in estate matters. I am just sayin'. People get greedy. They get "put out" and want to shove shit on to others.
This stole the cake with me. Those two siblings have been generous to myself and my kids, but you say that shit to my other parent (their in-law), and I'm sorry. That's it.
Think what you want, but have some couth. I'm done. Ain't nobody got time for wealthy liberals who think they know what's up in the real world. We all don't live in Never Never Land.
