My mom died about a month ago. Had 900.00 in checking account when she died. I spent $200.00 of it sending aches to Louisiana where she is from and was going to use the rest for flowers and etc. for her services. Now the state said that the money in her checking account that she has collected for 4 1/2 years is theirs. Is this true?
My deepest sympathies and condolences. I'm very sorry for your loss. Regarding the money in the bank account, I wonder if you can ask a social worker, elder law attorney or call the local office to get more information. I'm sorry you have this added stress. I hope someone will know.
My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
