Grandmother wanting to claim me on taxes I’m 18, soon 19, and my grandmother told me she’s claiming me on her taxes for the first 3 months of 2024 since I was still a minor. This is my first year of doing ny own taxes, however I have gotten plenty of advice that I should tell her she can’t claim me because I am 18, and even while I was still a minor those 3 months, I took care of my ow…

Good tv for visually impaired grandmother Hi, I am looking for a large tv for my grandmother who is mostly blind (she has retina damage from high blood pressure and can only see from the periphery of her vision). She is much better at seeing large shapes so the tv would have to be fairly large (55in plus). I don’t think high resolution (4k+) will be super important. If anyone can offer …

Grandmother wants to put paid off house in my name. I am 26 and not sure if it is a good idea. My grandparents raised me and are pretty much like my parents. My grandfather passed away suddenly in October at the age of 69. Since then, I’ve been living with my grandmother to keep her company and help in any way I can. The mortgage on her house was paid off last year, so property taxes are the only ongoing payments. Recently, my grandmother…

SE Asia with my 75 year old grandmother Hi! I’d be traveling with my 75 year old grandmother to a Southeast Asian country in February-March, for like 2 weeks. We’re from Europe. I was thinking Vietnam, Indonesia or maybe Malaysia? Thailand is out of the picture as we’ve both been, She’s extremely active and fit for her age, but wouldn’t be able to explore multiple countries in such …

My Grandmother just died unexpectedly My Grandmother just in unexpectedly died right before our vacation. i wasn’t able to make it here before she passed but was able to view her at the hospital and say my goodbyes. We will be staying for a while for the viewing. Would it be messed up to go on our trip right after because we had a 2-week trip already planned and we are able to chang…

My grandmother died and is still receiving pension payments So my grandmother died a little over a year ago. She has been, and still is, getting pension payments deposited into her checking account, on which my name is attached. My uncle – her son – hasn’t bothered to take care of it at all, and my mom (no relation to grandmother) is refusing to do it because she feels that it isn’t her responsibility. M…

Grandmother has been scammed out of ALL of her money My grandmother was scammed by someone claiming to be a “detective who is trying to protect her” and she emptied and closed all of her accounts and proceeded to write a cashier’s check for the full amount – around $250k. She has early-stage dementia and is not lucid, therefore she believes she did the right thing. What should my next steps be if …

My grandmother is in a car loan and needs out of it In 2022, my mother (we will call her Jane) needed to get a car but her credit didn’t allow her to get the car at an affordable payment so my grandmother (we will call her Mary) signed with her to lower the payments. A year later, Jane told Mary that she can’t afford the payments anymore and gave the car back to Mary. Mary wants to sell the car b…

Grandmother passed but I don’t want the inheritance My grandmother recently passed and I was told that I am receiving a small inheritance from the life insurance. Long story short, there was a lot of family tension over the years. My grandparents had two kids (my father and his sibling) and only our side of the family is receiving anything. I have pretty much cut all financial ties from my immed…

I just inherited a life changing amount of money from my Grandmother. I’m still in shock. It’s a bitter sweat situation due to her passing but I’ll finally be able to afford a good down payment on a modest home! I was told to expect about ~$100k after the sale of her farm land. This is totally life changing. I’ve been struggling for years to make ends meet and have been hit hard with rent increases recently. I fee…

My Grandmother left me some money for college, and I don’t know where it is? So for context, my Grandmother passed away back in late April, but before that, she had told me that she was saving up with a company (making monthly payments) to help me pay for college. Now, the problem is, she never told me what company she was using. And I can’t ask. A few other problems occurred as well. I don’t have access to her bank acco…

mom been transferring grandmother’s social security, is that a tax problem? My mom takes care of her mother, my grandmother. She just informed me that whenever my grandmother gets her social security checks (twice a month), she transfers it into her account and just leaves it there. I guess the point is for her and her sister to split it when my grandmother passes. Is this smart? Doesn’t this raise her taxable income an…

Worried about what happens when my wife’s grandmother dies. I recently found out that my wife’s grandmother, who is fairly old, has a good amount of land and money and is planning on letting her kids figure out how to split it up when she dies. While it’s not really up to me or my wife, I worry because her uncle is a really greedy guy that already hates her family and gets pissed when the grandma gives u…
