My sister is nuts

September 7th, 2005 at 06:21 am

I mean it in a nice way. Really.

I got the letter from the bank executor tonight and read it over carefully. It describes the estate's parcels of land (where the wealth rests, frankly), the disrepair of the buildings (yep), and that some of the farmers have grabbed some of dad's farm implements for "safekeeping". 2% of the estate is minimum for WI and for average, ordinary, liquid estates; WI law allows charging more for "extraordinary circumstances". The bank is charging 4%, flat.

Selling land. Capping water wells. Clearing fuel oil tanks. Clearing ancient wood and rusty scrap iron from waist high grass. Fetching tractors. Dismantling the barn and sheds for wood reclamation. 4% flat? We're getting off cheap! Smile

They're also charging to file a WI inheritance tax return, if the estate is worth over $675,000. The trick of this is the word "file". Not pay, merely file. I'll ask the bank and ask for the innocent clarification .

Having my lawyer look at it. (Gee, that sentence types easy!)

    What's a 'Tip Box'? I see it on your journal and keep wondering what it is!

    Robex - In one of my desk drawers at work, I have a little ceramic box that looks like a house with a lid that looks like a roof. Its a small box, maybe about 3 inches square inside. When I think about it, I put change and dollar bills in it. Works like a tip jar, but its a ceramic box. Sometimes I use the $$$ for office collections when they come up but mostly it goes into the bank monthly.
    I don't dare keep a tip jar/box at home. DH will raid it! Smile
