My dad has about 30 different bank accounts. Maybe more that we haven't found. Some are connected with the company; most aren't (although a lot of company monies went through them anyway). His general manager and personal assistant (GM winds up playing PA a lot too, my dad's old-school CEO idiot ... ) have somehow "lost" his credit cards, passport, proof of birth, etc. and claim that they have never had anything to do with his personal financial accounts or statements (really? my bed-bound, wheelchair bound dad picked himself up and walked to multiple banks located across one of the world's largest cities every day?). They're small potatoes--they're just in the way and making things a lot more tedious and difficult. They'll get French fried in due time. One of the banks my sister and I went to (they'd sent an enormous flowerboard--that was a good clue!), the THREE top guys--director, VP of Operations and VP of Customer Service--met us at the door and ushered us into the bank's boardroom (yeah, y'know, big glass-topped teak table, leather chairs, portraits of the owners on the wall, blah blah), served us refreshments, and proceeded to tell us exactly what my father's relationship with them had been, what financial instruments he had, ballpark dates and amounts. As I said, it's all going to take a while to sort out, and maybe August is too soon (considering family obligations and taking Mutti to Germany, etc.), but I could bloody well pay myself to the moon and back a few times if I wanted. It is an EXTREMELY weird feeling to know I now have the freedom and means to go wherever I want and do whatever I want. For the rest of my life. HOWEVER ... the truth is, that was always the case OK, now you have the bank employee in me scared. I hope and pray that you have assistance from financial professionals that you can trust. I don't know much about international stuff, and I'm sure it is a bit er, looser shall we say, there than in the states. But still, there is stuff that you should be working to get a hold of and stuff that should be easy for you to access. Unless I miss the mark, those two are bassackwards for you right now. Not really. We had a ream (I mean, an actual ream) of paperwork with us (including limited powers of attorney--me--and executor of my father's will--me) and certified copies of anything missing.We had paperwork down to our own original Certificate of Live Birth. Apparently, not even Obama has that Indonesian law is that all assets (and debts, yikes) transfer to the spouse unless otherwise specifically delimited. We had all of Mutti's paperwork with us as well, including my own limited powers of attorney on her behalf. My brother was a VP at Lippo Bank for a number of years. My dad was one of the original founders of a bank here as well. We do have some outstanding, non-involved savvy folks advising us as well. By whatever laws these guys are operating on, there was a specific set of information they could give to us verbally, in person, and show us on paper. There is only one piece missing in order for them to actually give us any paper, as well as have the account formally transferred to us singly or jointly, and with our designated signatories. It's when the federal government acknowledges that his death certificate has been accepted and noted by them.

Usually. The "winter" mentor season is always bizarrely short. Pfft. I'd hate leave this group. I feel like I've gotten to know many of you. Not that I don't want to meet other people but I kinda like hanging out with you! x2 |

Master 2770 Central Kansas | Subject: RE: Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED cdban66 - 2013-03-19 12:15 PM Asalzwed - 2013-03-19 12:56 PM Man, I have been really struggling. I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong. I guess maybe I am overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. This job thing is reaaaaaallly dragging out and turning into a beast. Like ... huge career decision stuff. Stuff that I wasn't even really looking for. And of course it's not far out from Boston. I don't really think running should take priority to career decisions (as it's NOT what I do, nor will it ever be what I do for a living) but it really does make me truly happy. Ugh. Adrienne, I don't often go real name, so I must be serious. The job thing is a whole big deal that you have very little control over. Put it in a box and only open it when needed. Compartmentalize. Running may not be what you do for a living, but it is a part of who you are. Put it into a different box. Continue doing so with other life "stuff". Once you come to a final group of boxes, you will have a good idea of the ones you control, the ones that you don't control, and the ones that control you. Some are good, some are bad, and others just are out there. No matter what you find though, remember that the truly important things are not things at all. They are the people that you care about and the people that care about you. Life is like running, mostly easy, sometimes hard. Right now is one of those hard times, but you are stronger than anything life can throw at you. Remember to breath and enjoy. Amazing advice, Chris. I'm going to take it, even though it wasn't given in my direction. |
