I’m sorry for your loss. Yes, anyone who is more concerned about the wealth they will get when their parents pass, are very misguided and will regret things later. That’s also pretty sad.
Momma, convert your stocks, bonds and jewelry into more cash and take a looong trip. Spend it all ‘cause the kids don’t really want it. As naggy as you are, they’d still rather have you. I miss my mama everyday and she was far from perfect. My daddy too for that matter.
I have 4 great kids who don’t want my stuff that much either (and some are doing much better than I). I do NOT have any wish to travel; that was fun in my younger days but all the regulations and rudeness make it just a pain. I love my home and prefer just to stay here. If I had the means to continue redecorating as I was while employed I would be exstatic. I just want to maintain my house and my health for as long as I am living without becoming a burdon on them. I’m currently is excellent health but expect to live just another decade or 2, as I’m 74.
My mom, who passed 13 months ago, left a house to my estranged sister and me. Sis (the executor) has been living in it the whole time, while I am “homeless”. (I have been lodging with a friend, and have been very comfortable, but that all changes on the first of next month). I’m hoping to find resolution at my next appointment with my lawyer……on the 31st. (How’s that for suspense/anxiety?)

I’d take a long trip or two.
