When I first read them, it seemed interesting enough, but in recent weeks I've had a similar situation so have been revisiting your posts for guidance. Kudos to you for getting to the other side and maintaining a relationship with your mom throughout!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954866032311305951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-11836400343164419592015-07-21T23:40:16.056-04:002015-07-21T23:40:16.056-04:00This is such an interesting post.

You ...I think, this worked out well for all of you. You are very capable of making sound financial decisions and I think, you will be a terrific trustee. Where will your mom live now? Just curious about her living arrangements. Her monthly income sounds decent but it depends on the area she wants to live. If she lives in a small apartment with low rent, she should be OK. <br /><br />I wish she had done that soon after your dad's passing instead of spending money on the house that she would not be keeping. I am sure some of her expenses increased the value of your old home but, I am guessing she has not been able to recoup all that she has spent.T'Polhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207033510057896918noreply@blogger.com
