In the initial stages of claiming the assets, everything was going well until I found out that the belligerent beneficiary was the new owner of the safe deposit box (the box). As described in the article Opening the Safe Deposit Box of an Estate, the executor must follow a process to open a safe deposit box that is part of an estate. So, as executor, I had to carry out the following tasks after the gruesome discovery:
• Call the beneficiary to inform the beneficiary that they own the safe deposit box.
• Inform the beneficiary that they must be present in order to open the box.
• Instruct the beneficiary to call the bank and set an appointment to open the box.
• Since the key wasn’t found at the estate, ask the beneficiary about the key.
While on the phone with the belligerent beneficiary, I knew the beneficiary would take this opportunity to try and extort more property from the estate, or, try to get more involved with the management of the estate. As the business portion of the call ended, sure enough, the conversation switched to personal property. The beneficiary felt entitled to more property and didn’t hold back expressing that point. When I denied the request, the beneficiary threatened to sue me. As I ended

The belligerent beneficiary arrived on time with the spouse as I witnessed them, from my car, yelling at each other walking into the bank. Seeing this behavior, I decided to wait in the car until the couple walked into the bank before I headed for the bank. As I walked into the bank, I approached the couple and thanked them for helping me open the safe deposit box. The beneficiary then asked for five minutes alone in the viewing room while the couple looked through the box. Before I could respond, the bank official arrived at her desk and asked for the $75.00 fee to have the locksmith drill open the box. The process began immediately after handing the bank official the check for the
Facts: Peter Dementas was a good friend of Jack Tallas. Over the last decade or so of Jack Tallas’ life, Peter Dementas cared for him and helped him with both business and personal errands. Jack Tallas was an insurance agent and landlord and frequently had Peter do things for him such as, “picking up his mail, taking him to the grocery store, and assisting with the management of his rental properties” (Dementas v. Estate of Tallas). Because of Peter’s help, Jack Tallas wrote a memo stating he wanted to give $50,000 to Peter Dementas and was going to add that to his will. Jack never added that memo to his will so Dementas’ claim was negated. The courts

In Perry v. Central Bank & Trust, 812 S.W.2d 166 (Ky. Ct. App. 1991) it was reasoned as to whether the parties exercised due diligence concerning the suit and answering the summons. It also stated that carelessness by a party or his attorney is not reason enough to set an entry aside. Ky. Civ. R. 55.02. With that said, It can be argued, that Dr. Furlow fully intended to answer the complaint within the twenty 20 days; but was prevented from doing so, because of the trauma his family suffered at the hand of robbers the day before meeting with us. We can also argue that he had reason of an extraordinary nature justifying relief as contained in ground (f) Ky. Civ. R.60.02.
does not present a justiciable issue); Di Portanova v. Monrow, 229 S.W.3d 324, 329 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.], 2006, pet. denied) (beneficiary could not bring declaratory judgment action to resolve dispute over how trustee should exercise discretion given to trustee in the trust instrument). Here, no justiciable conflict exists because Texas law clearly establishes that Plaintiff has no equitable (or legal) interest in the settlement funds paid by Geico to St. David’s.

Upon arrival I made contact with the victim, Seymour Owens. Owens advised he had received a letter in the mail a few days prior stating he had won the lottery.

The area in which I spent the most was definitely transportation however, this expense was an absolute necessity that I could not avoid. Being raised to be conscious about my money spending habits and to always look for a bargain was not something I could necessarily put into practice concerning this area. Areas where I spent the least would have to be personal care and personal extras; there is always a great sale and or off brand personal hygiene product to be bought. When I don’t buy the flashy product with the pretty packaging and well known name I save a bit of money in the process. The fact of saving money on products like these is so liberating and I get a huge adrenaline rush out of it! As far as
