Why is blood thicker than water?
Why are there “laws” that meddle with the affairs of common sense?
What stranger knows what to do with the “affairs” of a sweet, senile old woman?
What child has the right to outright pillage their parent, endanger their well-being and show repeated lack of care hence hospitalizations and “experimental” procedures performed on them?
Why do I continue to fight what appears to be a losing battle that the only winners are the attorneys?
OK Confused now? So am I as well as the lawyers and even the Judge!
In case you need to catch up… read the following blog: http://www.cherrytap.com/blog/24690/168504#
So why today’s rant?
Attorneys, Judges, Laws and Family – just do not mix!!! I want to know what happened to common sense and hard EVIDENCE (of which none is admissible in court so as the “law” states) regarding each and every stupid proceeding and filing and total waste of time and money.
Claudia Margot Carl is the 61 year old “baby boomer” daughter of Eleanor and would have been my “sister-in-law” had her brother and I wed. Well, that did not happen and I am now the sole caregiver for her mother. Eleanor moved in with Daniel and I on October 28th, 2005. Since her brother’s death on April 27, 2006, Claudia has been nothing short of a thorn in my side and bane of my existence.
Having known Eleanor prior to her moving in and seeing the condition of her home and care of her health under the “love and admiration” of a “caring daughter” I am obligated under the highest standards of morality and ethics to continue to defend a batty old lady’s honor and defend her rights because she has no mind to do so.
Exactly three days after her brother’s death I was finally able to get a hold of her and all she asked me was “did he execute his Will?” Of which Daniel had a draft finally made up but never signed, so totally screwed me with my cars and house, them being in his name to protect me from my ex-husband (another “soap opera” story)… Anyway, back to focus here – I said I did not know and will let her know after I make all the arrangements. No offer to do anything whatsoever, even in caring for her dear mother while I grieved the loss of a loved one.
One week to the day, I receive in the mail court papers for “Emergency Guardianship” proceedings. What was I to do other than contact Eleanor’s attorney and proceed to go through the motions of what was necessary to fulfill my legal obligations? I am the Appointed Guardian according to Eleanor’s legal documentation now that her son is with his father. Isn’t that what lawyers are supposed to do – protect their clients rights according to law?
Well apparently the laws are bent according to who has the most money and can get the best lawyers. Even slandering and mud slinging by other attorneys is permissible, but not documentation in Claudia’s own writing telling her family to “fuck off and get a life” or bank records of her obtaining equity loans and credit cards in her mother’s name to the tune of over $260,000 spent over a 5 year period.
My life is at stake here now because of Probate… yup – Next of Kin according to Florida law is the sole inheritor of “Daniel’s Estate”, of which is Eleanor. In the case she expires, it all goes to guess who? Claudia! I have been fighting and will continue to do so for my livelihood here. My home and transportation is now going to be part of “Eleanor’s Estate” and I have no legal say in the matter. After 6 years of blood, sweat, tears, effort as well as financial input to making a house a home, I can loose it all to a greedy, selfish SOB that is an ungrateful baby booming idiot!
For crying out loud… her mother is not dead and she is fighting to have her last will changed and challenged her own mother’s mental capacity! She would rather have a total stranger handle her mother’s affairs while I administer her 24/7 care. I want nothing other than what was already mine, my home and vehicles. I could not give a rat’s ass about her mother’s money or possessions, and Daniel’s and mine should not be a part of that!
Why are the scales of justice blind-folded? I now can tell you why… it is because she does not want to see the fallacy of the “judicial system” in its full glory and the pockets of lawyers fatten up with another $5,000 retainer plus expenses. Justice is blind, deaf and dumb… money talks, common sense is dead!
P.S. Eleanor’s lawyer is an excellent attorney but because of a “conflict of interest”, cannot represent the both of us even though all we both want is the same thing. How phucked up is that?
Grrrrr….. I despise lawyers… does anyone know someone that can do something to help?
