In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane shares a letter from a reader who warns others that scammers can reside within your own family too.
While their brother cleaned out their mother's safety deposit box and ran off with cash and jewelry, the remaining siblings were left to settle the rest of her estateWhen my mother was in a coma, dying, my brother closed her safety deposit box. He was co-executor of the estate. Life insurance policies, jewelry and all her personal and important belongings were gone.
However, I try to look at the positive side. For instance, I got to spend some alone time in the house I grew up in. I was able to add new memories and closures. The attorney I hired said, “Before this is over, somebody in the family will not be speaking!” How true.
