I finally feel like I have some breathing space...SS should start in a couple of weeks... |

| questioning my sanity Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Oregon Posts: 14,776 | According to the Will, it's mine, however Mark neglected to change the beneficiaries on the policy, they were still listed as his mom and pre-deceased father. My MIL was sure that the Lord had a reason for this happening and that he had a plan for that $$, that it should be kept in her Trust not in my hands... This is what she sent today Quote:
I'm not sure now where our relationship will lie, I know that my SIL is "done" with her...this was the last straw... | |

Maybe it WAS God's plan for your MIL to "get" the insurance money... That way you you had to have the conversation with her to pray about what to do with it, and she did... HE needed that to open her heart to other things.. Like how important YOU and your son really are to her...especially now... I wish you and your family lots of LOVE. Mary |

| Caching to Travel!   Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: SoCal Posts: 12,197 | I'm glad things are looking up for you and David financially. I'm sooo glad that your MIL is releasing the money. Right now it is the last thing you need to deal with. Also, let this be a reminder to you and everyone else reading this post how important life insurance is, especially if you have kid(s). I personally don't own a home or have children... but I still make sure mine and Leighton's life insurance is up to date. If something ever happens to Leighton it is the only way I would be able to fly his body home to be buried in Wales. Now... to work on getting those wills done. |

I'm sure it was an oversite on Mark's part and he would have wanted his wife & child to be taken care of. |

| Registered User Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: Evans Mills, New York Posts: 539 | Well glad to hear that everything is working out. I'm sorry if I was nosey, but I just figured (see I didn't assume!! LOL) that the money would go to you since you are his spouse. That's one thing about being military..all of your ducks gotta be in a row every year!!!! All of that stuff gets checked yearly, so there's never any question. A |

 He was Military...this was a policy his parents set up when he was born, I assumed that since he was previously married, it had been changed and that when we went through and did our Wills, that he changed it again...it's not a Military Policy, all that stuff was in place, although his records are a mess  | |
