[quote=Anonymous]reading between the lines here, I think OP's bigger concern (than a dumb overnighted check) is that her inlaws have clearly not planned for themselves. The fact that FIL had a long illness and didn't prepare for the costs of his funeral is troubling and we can assume MIL hasn't planned for herself at all. And now with FIL gone there are concerns that MIL will become even more financially unprepared and needy. If you're married to a man who is unwilling to address these concerns head-on and just kowtows to his aging, demanding mother (to the detriment of his nuclear family), it's a prescription for problems and strife. OP, instead of sharing your concerns here, please share them with your husband and tell him he needs to get a plan together and grow a backbone. And OP, you need to be doing what you can safeguard your family's financial future (setting up 529s for kids so that their college funds don't magically get given to needy MIL). [/quote]
