Heartbroken & need help
a year ago
What follows is inane ramblings of a poofy tigress ---
Hello everyone.
On Dec 9th, I discovered my younger sister had passed away unexpectedly. As her next of kin, the burden of settling her affairs has fallen to me. She had 2 kids and pets, and a life that's going to take a while to unravel. She was also on disability due to Type 1 diabeties and trauma she'd suffered due to domestic assault she'd survived.
My sister was a fighter who'd always faced the world in her own way. She had a huge heart and was feirce friend, valuing family and her children above all else. However, she was also a complicated person, who left many things unfinished that the burden now falls to me. But as she was diabetic and disabled, she did not have much in the way of assets.
I cannot do this alone. I need help. Even if you cannot donate, please SHARE.
Anything I collect will go to the direct purpose of settling her estate, and anything extra will go to support her kids (my neice & nibbling (who is a furry)). I don't ask much, but I could really use some help right now.
I have set up a gofundme here:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/michelle.....th-taryclayton
if you want to help via ko-fi here's that option:

I appreciate anything you can do to help, be it donating or sharing. If you want to donate in another way aside from the two listed, note me and we'll work something out.
Thank you everyone in advance.

Would that I could give right now, but I will share it on and you keep doing what you're doing. You really are a wonderful critter.
You got this Myst!
I'm not a lawyer and your state laws might be different, but with regards to the situation I have had to deal with the only assets that have mattered have been solely hers - don't let debt collectors or other people bully you into using your own assets to cover for your late sister's debts. Once you accept the debt, they'll hold you to that.
Life insurance etc she held is for the end of life costs and for her kids. Don't let people calling for money convince you otherwise. Again, I don't know your state's laws but there should be some kind of estate management education for your state that will fill you in on the details.
A lot of this will be overwhelming. Keep organized - keep notes and make a timeline. Once you get the paperwork to handle her estate, make a dedicated bank account and do everything you can with checks and a paper trail. You got this.
It was a similar thing when my wife died - of course we didn't have wills set up. Both of us are relatively healthy middle aged people, it wasn't something we had to think about it. Having the paralegal assistance makes a huge difference. I don't know how estate/probate law works in canada, but she should be able to at least point you in the right direction for things.
