By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

We just bought a home that was in a trust. 5 surviving kids and multiple grandkids...and I guess things were not all copacetic between this man and his kids. His oldest son was the executor and did get paid a few bucks for the hours he spent doing the 'grunt work.' The man had been a dentist with a VERY lucrative practice and had a lot of investments. (we didn't care about THAT, just wanted to buy the house in this crazy market)...
Anyway, we made this embarrassingly lowball offer which shockingly, they accepted.
Once our offer had been accepted and some legalities taken care of, they had a 'reading of the will'. MILLIONS of dollars sitting there---and he left every cent to his church.
I haven't talked to any family about it, but we were a little anxious b/c the family was so angry and we were afraid they'd tale some kind of revenge on us.
I know there is a backstory or ten about this, I have heard a little, I guess he was constantly helping out his kids and grands and must have changed his will at some point and nobody knew.
One granddaughter was living with him, as a CG, but also sneaking her BF in at night. The old man probably knew and as he was sharp to the end, I think he simply saw leaving his millions to the church he loved was his way of letting his kids know they'd not behaved well. I don't really know, but I'm sure we'll hear more.
Nothing in writing, agreements were all verbal. I am so glad we have written, notarized will and 5 kids who do not need our money.
I agree 100% with Alva. While it sounds like you're being 'nit picky' about the will's intent, it's much worse to find out you've been cut out completely. It's not about not trusting someone, it's just common sense.
We see this over and over again. People leave their jobs, move in with elders and care for them until placement or death. They are then left without a job history and homeless. Many have ended up in homeless shelters themselves.
I am so sorry, but unless someone helps you out of the goodness of heart, I am afraid you haven't anything to stand on. I would see a landlord tenant advisor in your area if there is one to see what your rights are as being virtually a tenant at this time. In San Francisco you would be likely to get moving expenses that are generous just in the hopes you would willingly vacate the home without court action.
