And I logged into T.Rowe to verify the change to sis as sole beneficiary that I made last year for dad and it DID NOT go through. ##*#*#*@! It still shows my dead for over 11 years mom as the primary beneficiary and then all 3 kids as secondary. Sigh. I suppose there was some extra step to "confirm you want to do this " that I missed.
Well I guess since that didn't happen I can 'buy' the tractor and dad's pickup from the estate to give sis more money. We will most likely have to include a death certificate for mom to get that IRA transferred. Hmm, maybe I can ask T.Rowe about ceding my share to sis? I don't know what to do. If I decide to move then maybe I don't want to keep 4 vehicles and if sis and B want to sell their half ton and take dad's pickup they can have it once I get the wiring fixed up on my Ford. For however long I stay here I need a decent tractor, and it would be most convenient for me to just keep princess Fergie rather than have to buy one. I do intend to build in WY, possibly rent on an acreage first and expect I'll need a tractor there also.
Caving an asking sis to change when she comes. I think she is taking PTO days after her regular days off. I was thinking to ask wouldn't she rather just skip this trip and not come down until whenever we do a memorial for dad. But she wants to gather pictures and maybe some VHS tapes and get a service to make a slide show for the computer. Of course she couldn't do that any of the times she has been down in the last 2 years. Well I am glad she didn't take the pics from the photo album, dad enjoyed going over those with L.
I hate that I resent her for not helping me more. She will do stuff I ask her to do. I've just remained in "big sis takes charge" mode instead of giving her a list of "could you do this for me" and she hasn't been all gung ho, wanting something to do when she's been here.
Called SS office today. Put the ph on speaker and did low focus needed disk cleanup for 30 minutes until connected. I think the gal said Science Care had not called SS but me having called takes care of both the SS and medicare. I probably have to contact his part C provider and cancel them separately though. So many details. I keep playing one of the senior life insurance commercials in my head where the sister comes in and asks daughter how she is doing "there's a lot to take care of" Boy howdy aint that the truth, and thanks to the great lawyer in ND advising dad to do quit claims for the land to the sibs the estate is not so complicated. But there is the fun hiccup of dad never taking care of changing the IRA from mom as beneficiary, probably the checking accounts are that way as well, I don't think I ever pulled that up with the online banking apps.
