Stay strong! It really isn't your hassle when push comes to shove. Sounds like Aunty is running out of stalking horses and might (shock! horror!) have to do the insisting herself. Which will probably be good for her soul if not her temper. Is she the executor? Or has she taken this work onto herself without authority?
She’s the executor.
Im supposed to be “the nice one” in the family as she calls it but it’s only because I didn’t take legal action against her or accuse or of anything even if I have my suspicions.
Executors have rather strict obligations, which is why the task can be turned down. Aunty might be digging herself a very big hole.
It’s a little messy because some of the other family members are suss on the Aunty stealing or keeping funds to herself from there sale of my grandma’s house as she had power of attorney for my grandmother, the worst person possible.
I think she tried to pocket rent from a property my grandma had and has had to return there money to the trust fund as she wasn’t entitled to the rent as the property did not belong or pass to my Aunty or her family yet.
So it’s led to some family wanting proof of finances and also them reviewing to making sure everything was returned and not pocketed to my Aunty unlawfully.
Hmm yeah. My sister did a few things she wasn't strictly allowed to do, but I totally approve of. Once the accounts get locked it can get tricky to pay for non optional shit.
Hrmm. This is a difficult one to navigate. Probably best to keep your distance as you have been. Wishing you much patience. Keep your temper no matter what is probably for the best.
