It is never a "walk in the park", when one has to deal with family members, who really have no sense of real "family love". Family members who smile at you, talk to you, embrace you....as if all is well, whilst their hearts secretly whisper the language of deception.
In December 2004, I received a call from my older sister, who is now deceased. She told me that she was flying out to WS(Independent State of Samoa). The reason being, that a matter regarding the probate of a certain parcel of real estate....was taking way too long. She was tired of asking, like myself as well as our brother...about the probate. The answers we got then ranged from a lot issues caught in the legal quandry of land probate, different system, and so forth.
So, it is actually no surprise when my sister called to tell me of what she intended to do. This was 2004 already...the wait had been long. The answers as to the hold up of the probate....was unsatifactory. It was THEN...and looking at it again NOW ...Unacceptable!
In 2001, our maternal relatives had requested that we give our power of attorney, to their mother in order to make the process easier, and that we do not have to worry about hiring a separate lawyer.
