So there are way to many details to go into at this point in time. But I was trying to so the nice thing and envolve the family in some decision making on my mom's stuff. This has brought up more drama with my brothers and sisters. If you could please pray for me to be able to mind my tongue and to have patience and understanding on everyone's part. Along with protection for me and my family.
 
May the Lord give you strength to make it through this.

One promise I made to myself and my parents. When they are gone I will not fight over what they leave. I will walk away. If they want me to have something they will give it to me before they depart this world.

Dad has already given me the rifle he hunted with for years. It will go to my oldest grandson when the time comes.

Best wishes for a fast and peaceful resolution.

[We have have it easy. My mother doesn't have much stuff. And all of it, but the family pictures, is going to her church charity. ]

Prayers sent. When my Mom passed in oct of 16 I guess we were lucky in the sense that my brothers and 2 sisters never argued over anything. Sinse that we have been really close,, a lot like when we were kids.
 
I hope you will come through this with honor. There were only 2 of us involved, worked it out in 5 minutes. When I hear "Nothing brings out the worst in people like a dollar bill", I reply, "Only in the worst people".
 
sorry for your loss.
yes...mind your tongue. it's all legalese now.

we went through this last year with my MIL's death.
please, folks....here's what made everything easier:
1. Living Trust. costs money 'cause it's worth it.
2. DURABLE Power of Attorney. not "just" POA.
3. DNR orders. keep them in your fireproof gun safe.
 
My prayers are with you. I have been there, and it sucks.

They really need to be where the EMTs can see them within moments of them entering your home, or the abode of whoever they are written for. On the refrigerator, or someplace accessible, otherwise they will have the paddles out because that's their job.
 
The sad part of all of this is that they are acting this way and she is still living.... I just have power of attorney and have been taking care of her since my dad passed. Now that I am having to make all of the decisions due to her being in a home. I thought I would do the respectable thing and allow them to have a say so. Now they are wanting to bring up a hunch of bs and I'm trying real hard to keep my calm
 
fieldgrade, you are right. the nursing home should have copies, for staff and in the actual room. keep originals safe.

The NC DNRs are bright yellow background, with red print as I recall. I don't know if EMT's will honor copies or not, unless they are color copies and look like the original. Maybe an EMT on the forum can answer that, because I don't know.

As they say, no good dead goes unpunished.

I will have control on my mother’s estate one day. My brothers will be included in many decisions if they want to be, but I’m not gonna work at bringing them in and I’m not gonna be running a democracy. Mom asked me to do it because she thinks I’ll make good decisions, not my place to water that down with public opinion.
