My Biggest Fear

My mom had a will, but my oldest brother did everything in his power to make it his will, not my mom's will. 4 years later and things are still in the courts making lawyers richer.

I've already determined that when Dad passes on, my middle sister will have "her" way, and I am just going to let her. My younger sister may have something to say about it, but it won't do any good anyway. Middle sister has the checkbook!

As to my stuff, I doubt that any of my kids want any of it. They are all so not into the same things I am. Another event I will not worry about at this stage in the game.

Yes, it pays to do research before it's too late. I was given POWER of ATTORNEY and mistakenly thought that meant I have the power the moment my mom passes. WRONG, that's when the power ENDS. I was named executor of the estate, but if my older brother wants to fight it he can take me to court and the fight is on. After 3 years of him taking me to court I finally just told him he can be executor, as I've had enough of it. I figured this would be the best thing to get things settled as quickly as possible, but in the end who knows. Money talks, and he has the money.

This is why I want to find out what to do to make sure my Model A's and parts go where I want them to and not to my brothers. My brothers have no mechanical knowledge nor interest in my cars, and they would only fight over them for the money they could sell them for.
