<p>[QUOTE="MacMorrighan, post: 260592, member: 5119"]Oh, I had to endure something quite similar! After Dad had inherited Aunt Liz's estate, he got in debt with the bank. But, when he and my step-monster separated unofficially she wouldn't allow him on the premises (the cops sided with her, even though it was his property and his lawyer said he didn't need a court order!) she'd call the cops whenever he arrived to collect some of his belongings. Well, when he wasn't around she gave all of our family's antiques to her own family, which came from Dad's parents! And, when the bank foreclosed on the house me and my brother wanted to keep it in the family, but the bank needed her to sign a document specifying this. The step-monster agreed, saying that it's what our Great Aunt and Uncle would have wanted. At the last possible second she called us and tried to extort $60,000 from my Mom, who doesn't have that kind of money and would have needed to take out a lone from a bank (a 6 month process), on top of her current house payments. So, the house got auctioned off, and I was so hurt that I couldn't even look at the house again for years while driving by. But, apparently, she had taken all the shelving, all the counter tops, and all the cabinets--they were just gone and totally gutted! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
