"Kyla =^. .^=`" wrote in message . .. "Irulan" A judge in New York has taken 10 million dollars which was inherited by hotel mistress Leona Helmsley's pet dog and distributed the money to 2 of her grandchildren who were left out of her will. The dog inherited a total of 12 million from Helmsley who wanted the money to go to charity if/when the dog died. The judge did leave 2 million for the dog's upkeep. Leona Helmsley, who also owned The Empire State Building was a mean crass woman who treated people like crap. Shame on her. If I decide to leave all I have in my will to a wild animal hospital I will do it. I would not expect it to be overturned in favour of my brothers (who, quite frankly, don't deserve it, but that is another story) Tweed |

That is how I figured it, if she had wanted to give them something, she
would have said so!!!!. How dare any judge do that. "Victor Martinez" wrote in message ...

Getting stolen from is bad enough but, when it is family, it just........
After my husband died, I found he had signed a $2500.00 loan for my step daughter. I called her about it and asked if she could pay any on the credit card he used. She said "how dumb can you get, if I had any money, I wouldn't have needed a loan?" "hopitus" wrote in message ...

(And a "judgment" wouldn't guarantee I'd ever see any of the money!) Oh, you're right about that! But I dunno about AZ but up here in your neighboring square (LOL) state, when people don't pay their court- ordered judgments, warrants are issued, defendant is put into custody, and if judgment not paid on spot (in court) and/or judge is in bad mood, its the slammer for at least 30 days or more......just trying to help. You may not want to do this, I realize. |

(Assuming I have anything to leave, after taking that large a hit!) I totally agree! If Ms. Helmsley wanted those grandkids to have $10 million she'd have left it to them. It bugs me no end that disgruntled (read: greedy) family members can contest a valid will. They probably never did a thing for Ms. Helmsley when she was alive other than sit around counting the $$ they anticipated receiving upon her death. Jill |

This is the kind of thing that winds up on those TV Judge shows. I don't care *who* you loan money to. If it's truly a loan get a signed promissory note and specifically spell out the terms under which (and when) the loan is to be repaid. I once loaned my oldest brother a modest sum but I made him sign a note indicating he'd pay it back on X date (his then payday) then made sure I collected on that date. One thing some people seem to do (even if they have a promissory note) is to let the pay-back date slide due to this or that excuse... if you do that for too long it may be construed you never intended it to be repaid in the first place.

I didn't even know it was done and my name was on the card. You can't prove
a thing when there is no longer anyone to argue with. You can bet I won't loan anything to anyone. "jmcquown" wrote in message . ..

You may not want to do this, I realize. The problem is that the bank the money was stolen from is in Wisconsin, the niece lives in Minnesota, and I live in Arizona. Suit would have to be brought in the state where the theft took place (Wisconsin) and it just seems too much of a hassle when I can't be SURE of the outcome. (True, it's an awful lot of money to lose, but considering that I am now retired and living on a limited fixed income, and realizing how much a lawsuit might cost, with no guarantee I'd get any of the stolen money back, it just seems best to cut my losses.) "Leave her to Heaven" - she pretends to be such a devout Christian, I'd sure like to be peering over St. Peter's shoulder when she arrives at the Pearly Gates! |

How crass of her to do that to you :/...
If you weren't afraid to fly, I'd take her sorry arse to Judge Judy. (filmed in NY) You'd get your money back.

Do you still have any credit card receipts?
I'll bet you can get them from the Credit card company. I'm so sorry you're going thri this "Granby" I didn't even know it was done and my name was on the card. You can't prove a thing when there is no longer anyone to argue with. You can bet I won't loan anything to anyone. |
