[quote=Anonymous]My great uncle was childless, never married and was fiercely independent and a loner. He didn't want any outside help from anyone, even as a younger person. He lived to be 93. He fell inside his house and his one kind neighbor who visited regularly got the rescue squad to get him to the ER evaluation. He recovered but not enough to manage alone so was placed in a city run-nursing home. He died there a few months later. My mom was his executor of his very small estate and but she refused this responsibility. Uncle's now-abandoned house sat empty and became an eyesore and a drug den for about a decade. Neighbors complained and went to the local media about the house and it was placed on a long demo list. Finally torn down 12 years after my uncle died.[/quote]
