Litigation

Litigation

My dad made a will 10 years before he died. His wish was that his wife (not my mom) receive the house/.farm, which he figured at the time, was 40% of his estate, and his stocks would be divided among his four children, 15% each. During those 10 years, he became ill, and she quit her job to care for him. (she was 30 years his junior). He never changed his will, which was fine with me..... she was the only woman who ever loved him for who he was rather than for the amount of $$ he could make (he was a doc). But, during those 10 years, all of his stocks had to be sold to support them and his illness. The estate was then thrown into court. I came to her side to try to get it so that the house/farm would still be hers. My siblings, (being the reptiles that they were) wanted her thrown out of the house immediately. Over a year later, I got it settled that she could stay in the house (actually, it was a large farm) as long as she wished, and when she wished to sell, the 60-40 split would be made then and only then. My dad had independently signed the house over to her 2 years before he died, but they got it denied in court!!!!!! It was messy. Wills are sort of complicated. Your dad needs to see an attorney. Short of that, he can write out a will IN HIS OWN HAND, rejecting the will or trust he has now, if he has one...... how he would want his estate divided should he drop dead tomorrow. He then needs to have a couple of friends of his sign each page and date each page, and put it in a safe deposit box. You don't need to know what it contains, only that it exists. This will hold up in court. However, a planned estate (now called a trust) works better. We are all very good at denying our mortality... wills and the like are "ded stuff" and we all hate to think of that...... . Now for a real twist:::::::::: My ex and I divorced, no children, and our wills were 20 years old. We did the divorce ourselves, nothing was listed to be divided, got papers off the internet, everything blank, filed, and we were granted a divorce. But we continued to hold things jointly -- joint checking accounts, joint savings, joint investments, each the beneficiary on our IRAs, I remained the beneficiary to his insurance policy, he paid for the care and boarding of my horse in California, I moved to another state..... etc. Again, none of this was written out or filled in on the divorce papers...... Our 20 year old wills were made when we were flying all over Africa in the late 1980's and figured we'd both die in a plane crash in Kenya somewhere. So, we left it all to 4 charities. We did not revise our wills after our divorce....(mistake) we made our estate together, who but the other deserved it more should one of us die, right???? Besides, most everything was joint, anyway, right???? Between the granting of our divorce, August "04 and the time he was killed in an accident, July '05 he did take out a few things (big investments) in his name only. Even he thought my name was on them!!!!! In California, joint tenancy and beneficiary status FAIL, read again FAIL with divorce..... unless me, as the surviving ex can prove "beyond all reasonable doubt" that the decedent would have wished joint tenancy and beneficiary status to remain. I did have that proof, but it took a year, and $20,000 of attorney fees and a mediation session to prove it. Those 4 charities froze ALL of my assets, and his too!!!! Charities, for christ sake!!!! In the end, against what he really wanted, they got everything that was in his name alone, and cut into some of the things that we held jointly. I came away with a huge chunk of money, but none of our money was meant to be theirs while I was still alive..... frankly, just got tired of learning the law...... and settled at a mediation.

What is the exact process? I don't need a lawyer or to go to court or anything, right?.

You need to create a form using HTML and have it run a server-side script that will wrap up the data and ship it in an e-mail.. . That's a bigger task then can be explained here.

Do you have a teacher or counselor at your current school who could help you out, who might know what that school is looking for? Do you know anyone who currently attends the school, maybe the parent could give you advice.. . If not, than write a letter telling why you would like to attend the school. -- great education, community, lifelong friendships, religious reasons (if you're Catholic), programs (like athletic, choir, or any other stand out programs they offer), and whatever other reasons you have.

Dear (Mr. / Ms. last name). We are very impressed with your resume and would like to invite you to a personal interview for the position of (name of job) at (time of day) on (date) at (where).
