This isn't me. My friend is inheriting a house and cannot live their because she has MS and there are stairs. I am trying to come up with alternatives for her in case she cannot sell it - she *needs* the money for long-term care. (If she rents it, then she's going to have to deal with maintaince costs.)
Again, I am no expert but if she is inheriting a house, is it paid off already? Or much of it paid off? Why does she need to get above market value? Just sell it at market value and get rid of it.
Sell it to a company or have them rent it out for her? She hasn''t inherited it yet. . .it''s been in probate for a while and she doesn''t know how much is still owed on it. There is also a second house, as well, but she thinks she''ll only get one of the two.
They are gaining more popularity around here due to the number of foreclosures the county I live in has.
Thanks. She''ll need to see a proper attorney. It''s not as easy as it sounds. She cannot drive and because her hands are so numb, sometimes drops the phone when I talk to her. She''s fighting over assest with her step-mom right now, however, there are two homes and one will be coming to her when her case goes to court soon. It''ll go in front of a judge next month.
Yes, I could post a huge long thread about her husband. He''s dead weight and waiting for her to get her inheritance. She may be getting over a million! Or, maybe not. I''m often confused with what she says. The deal is she gets income through a few sources, but is too sick to even go to the bank, so she has absolutely no control over the money. I sat her down one day and asked WHERE is the money coming from and going and how much. She didn''t know. Finally, she gave the information to her husband''s MOM, which perplexes me because again, she wasn''t provided a definitive answer as she (I believe) is biased. Her husband won''t go buy her new undergarments, but somehow has the cash to buy a Starbucks coffee w/whipping cream on it every day!
Sorry about your sister. The ages are close between your sister and my friend. She was diagnosed at 18 and now is 36.
She did have a state-provided care giver, but every one of them was lazy and would actually sit around and watch TV. They're paid very little money, leaving them unmotivated to do their job. After she went through a few of them, she decided to have her husband take over, but then recently, she decided to ask for another state care-giver and now there is a waiting list!
The main medication she takes for MS is copaxone. It seems to have halted the MS symptoms for years now. She had several bad relapses in her late 20's that required hospital stays and very high doses of IV steroids, which I believe caused many of her current mental issues. She has not had any relapses since the copaxone. She still walks and can drive, but she cannot work due to cognitive issues.
I''m not entirely sure I understand the concept of "congitive issues." She will say "I know," when I tell her about how she needs to consult her attorney to square certain things away - and tell her that she MUST ask her husband to wait outside while she''s talking to her attorney, but then she lets him come in. It''s the same way with the money flow. She agrees with what I suggest she do, but then doesn''t do that. I even give her solutions to her many problems, but she will just call back a few days later repeating the same situation. . .Is that cognitive? She''s constantly confuse & leaves tons of voice mail messages for me about her husband and her pain meds!
Yes, I completely understand what you''re saying about Copaxone being right for some and not others. My friend tried most as well and felt Tysabri works the best, but then later changed her mind. Neurotin was another that she was prescribed for many years - that may have been what she took before switching to Endocet.) She''s seen at least two neurologists. The names have switched over time as have the treatments! Oddly, she was sent to some sort of pain management center and they recommended even "harder" pain killers. The whole thing seems wrong to me!
