[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I guess I'm glad to know this is not atypical, but its painful for me, I am the kind of person who just wants to get annoying things over with (I definitely procrastinate with writing and with returning phone calls, so I am not perfect by any means).

at one point we were co-trustees and my mom changed it to just me, mostly because I had taken over really all her affairs, so I am grateful for that, because this would be so painful otherwise. I will probably make my husband the main trustee--I had not done that only because he is my successor trustee for everything else, and I wanted to keep my family's assets separate, and also he's pretty disorganized as well. I guess I just can't die young. Off to the gym![/quote]

Id say it has only been two months.  that is not that long.  took us a year to close my mothers estate and I was the executor.  10 years late my dad died and were both were named.  My sister was and still is furious with me that I moved slower.  I just did.  I didn't need the money (neither did she).  There were lots of decisions I needed to make about where to put this money I didn't need.  Tax implications (we lived in a different states) that were worse for me.  It was just tough closing out everything my dad worked for.  sometimes taking the money made me feel guilty - like sad he didnt get to go on all those trips he talked about.

She pushed and pushed and pushed me. And not we do not talk. I made a lot of financial mistakes because I wasnt prepared and just made me feel like I wasted my dads hard earned $.  It is emotionally harder than you think.

I do not think two months is that long.  if he has never done these things it can be overwhelming.[/quote]

It's kind of amazing when people are like, "I don't need this money but I need to make sure I pay the smallest amount of taxes possible on it." [/quote]

Can you tell us why you think this is amazing? Is there a reason to not pay lower taxes if you legally can?
