And I logged into T.Rowe to verify the change to sis as sole beneficiary that I made last year for dad and it DID NOT go through. ##*#*#*@! It still shows my dead for over 11 years mom as the primary beneficiary and then all 3 kids as secondary. Sigh. I suppose there was some extra step to "confirm you want to do this " that I missed.
Well I guess since that didn't happen I can 'buy' the tractor and dad's pickup from the estate to give sis more money. We will most likely have to include a death certificate for mom to get that IRA transferred. Hmm, maybe I can ask T.Rowe about ceding my share to sis? I don't know what to do. If I decide to move then maybe I don't want to keep 4 vehicles and if sis and B want to sell their half ton and take dad's pickup they can have it once I get the wiring fixed up on my Ford. For however long I stay here I need a decent tractor, and it would be most convenient for me to just keep princess Fergie rather than have to buy one. I do intend to build in WY, possibly rent on an acreage first and expect I'll need a tractor there also.
Caving an asking sis to change when she comes. I think she is taking PTO days after her regular days off. I was thinking to ask wouldn't she rather just skip this trip and not come down until whenever we do a memorial for dad. But she wants to gather pictures and maybe some VHS tapes and get a service to make a slide show for the computer. Of course she couldn't do that any of the times she has been down in the last 2 years. Well I am glad she didn't take the pics from the photo album, dad enjoyed going over those with L.
I hate that I resent her for not helping me more. She will do stuff I ask her to do. I've just remained in "big sis takes charge" mode instead of giving her a list of "could you do this for me" and she hasn't been all gung ho, wanting something to do when she's been here.
