Long time lurker, and now something finally to write about! I will try to make it short. Uncle died, he was a recluse, we find out three years later. Hubster only heir. House is outside of Chicago.
We will receive:
1.House Value around 30-40000, it is in bad shape, bad neighborhood and he was a hoarder. OMG you just don't know!
a. Just called to get Insurance policy updated since it had lapsed.
b. Had two real estate agents look, one offer on table, lawyer has it.
c. Changed the locks.
2. Checking accounts/Banking
a. Opened an account for the estate. Closed two savings accounts.
b. Have three more banks to check, come on...
c. Got his safety deposit box drilled, $150.00 No dramatic music while you wait either (I asked) lol
d. Found title to house and title insurance papers. Coins meh, death certificate.
3. Got in the house and found all the mail, that was the jackpot!
This hoarding man, that wore rags, and picked trash, had stocks out
the wazoo, (from the grandfather).
a. Total right now is around 100,000.00 depending on stock market.
The sweet ones... 1000 shares of AT&T, 250 shares of Exxon, 700 of Nicor
and some other smaller ones.
b. Three life insurance policies, one on a greatgrandfather from 1910?? for
a thousand dollars, and two in my hubsters name (he didn't know about)
The bad news...
1. House is stacked to ceiling with crapola that multiplied into more crapola.
2. We are two states away. And it is winter.
3. Lawyers drug their feet for so long, we just now got letters of office to get into house. Should just broke in anyway this summer. Sheesh..
4. More than 50,000.00 in medical bills, he didn't have Medicare or medicaid.
5. Ran a credit report on him, and a lot of the medical bills are still attached to 2015.
6. Back taxes of 4 years soon, over 15,000 in taxes and fines are owed.
7. City probably has a lein against house for boarding it up, and grass cutting.
8. We didn't know he died until February of this year. He was a recluse.
Don't know how or who buried him? How he was living, or living on besides dividends checks.
What advice do you have for us? We could use it!
Lawyer told me not to contact medical bills that is the last thing that gets paid.
Also told me to contact an agency that you pay to help lower property tax bills .
