Backstory: grandpa died in February from the kind of brain cancer Ted Kennedy had. Grandma, who was in the same nursing home as he was for a broken arm, refused to see him until my dad & Uncle R forcably wheeled her down the hallway one day; he died that night. We tried to get her to go into assisted living once she was healed from the arm as the house is a split level ranch. Split level ranch + 82 year old with walker = epic fail.
Other Uncle, henceforth known as Uncle D, talks grandma into giving him $$$ (unsure of exact amt; somewhere in the $10k range) for a new motorcycle. He already has 2, btw. Uncle D is basically a man child who lives with his ex-wife & works very sporatically. Grandma has very severe mental health issues & I wonder if she was on too much Xanax to know WTF she was doing & if Uncle D took advantage of that situation. My dad & Uncle R find out about this & ripped him a new one; he said he'd pay her back.
Fastforward to this past weekend. My mom is a real estate agent. They use a computer program for possible new referrals; he office is part of a national chain & they get inquiries from around the state & country. She gets one that is very familiar. It's my grandma's house.
Mom calls dad & asks when grandma finally saw the light & decided to move into assisted living. Dad said "I don't know WTF you're talking about." Dad calls grandma & is told "I'm selling the house because Uncle D is buying a duplex & he'll live in one side & I'll live in another." Except she can't sell the house because my grandpa was a smart man & put all of his sons on the deed so not just 1 can make such decisions. Even with brain cancer, he probably knew that Uncle D would try something fishy.
Apparently Uncle D & his ex-wife that he's lived with are breaking up because she's suddenly discovered Jesus & he hasn't. Uncle D has already put in an offer on a duplex along with grandma. Can someone who's 82 years old qualify for a 30 year mortgage? Honest to God!
Oh, and he hasn't paid back the money from the motorcycle either.
