    Actually, admitting your brother video'd your fathers corpse in the hospital was rather stupid.

    I'm fairly sure that that is rather illegal :doh:

    I actually hadn't thought about that.

    Im going to get emotionally involved in this, but what the hell.

    You know what mate, I lost my dad on March 25th this year. I loved him dearly and I, along with my Mum, nursed him daily over the last 12 months while he died with cancer.
    I did all this, because he was my Dad. Regardless of the arguments we had, the things I did that he disapproved of, the lies I told as a teenager he loved me unconditionally because he was my Dad. And I loved him. I never expected nor wanted money from him, he already gave me every bit of love he had.

    That "witch" your Dad lived with was the woman he had chosen, and he obviously loved her very much. You come crawling out of the woodwork spouting all this "He was my Dad" rubbish, yes he was your Dad, but you werent his son were you?

    A son would have supported him, loved him no matter who he had chosen to live his life with. A son would have visited him and done everything he could. A Son would not have expected Money.

    Do one thing to make your Dad proud. Walk away, forget your money and let the woman grieve in peace.

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Here's sending you all my good wishes xxx

    You could be right, dead bodies belong to the state. Very curious :confused: , but that's what I've been told.

    While I agree that in this particular case there is something way wrong I certainly can't agree that an ex-wife is a "nobody" as in fact an ex-wife may well be the mother of children who might need support at a funeral. Same with an ex-husband come to that.

    I think that an ex should be able to grieve, but not at the expense of others.

    I think the OP is pulling everyone's leg. Most likely sitting there laughing and feeling clever at all the posts that took it seriously.

    Love and compassion should be more important than how much money you're going to get.

    P.s. I thought you were female anyway. ;)

    She IS his family, he chose her, and he was legally entitled to leave his estate to whomever he wanted. You have no automatic right to anything unless he died intestate.

    I've also lost a parent and not one day passes without me feeling the loss. I don't give two hoots about money, I'd rather have two living parents.

    I don't think you ever gave this woman a chance.

    Im not particularly bothered if your male or female i still think what your doing is sick, if he wanted to leave you money he would of if he had debts and has died then either YOU pay them or his partner will pay them so its up to you which route you take it as YOU cant obviously afford the debts so therefore you get nothing at all anyway because if he had left money over then that would pay the debts and no one gets anything. It sounds to me like his partner is a decent lady that has paid his debts off instead of passing the book to YOU and your family to pay instead after all you just said that she isnt family!

    She could probably send you a invoice for the funeral if she wanted to as she isn't family so she isnt expected to pay for the funeral like you are.

    If your that desperate for money get a job and get some money instead of waiting for people to die for it.
