Location: The estate was prepared by her in NC before she moved to Alabama with her son and died.
I took care of her for years towards the end since she helped raise me, I had a healthcare POA for her but when she had a mental breakdown dementia episode towards the end (it was always present but got much worse at the end) I pretty much had to relinquish her care to the son because I didn’t want to keep her against her will even if she wasn’t in her right mind. Since my mom died early on I replaced her on the will and this was updated soon after my grandmother sold her house. So she was right in her mind enough doing all of this of her own accord…
The problem is our family has always been split, my side hates the son of that family and now I’m finding out it’s more than just the son on that side of the family that hates me/us. I found out at least 3 family members were scheming behind my back and are refusing to tell me my beloved grandmother WHO RAISED ME (and the many years of care and sacrifice I gave to taking care of her) that she died! I found out from someone who apparently has a heart and soul.. I was the closest person to this sweet lady in the whole world. I am at least the second person to be notified behind the son but the whole world should know. Everyone should know! She was loved by all, the fact they are keeping it a secret from me over money is the most absurd insane frustrating thing I have ever heard of.
It seems lawyers don’t work on Saturday, I had no luck with anyone. And the ones I did call said they refuse to do cross-state/out of state estate/wills. At this point she may have died a week ago or WEEKS, I only know for sure it has been 3 days, possibly more. I am devastated. What should I do? I’m keeping it a secret that I know currently.
