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. My uncle wasn’t very present with my grandmother, so my mom feels as though it’s the least he could do, considering my mom took care of most of the funeral arrangements and whatnot.
My question is what should I do as far as these pension payments are concerned? Are they going to want it returned, or is that money just going to stay there? I can’t close the account because every time something gets deposited it reactivates, and I would think if I took the money out it would become a problem for me in the future. The whole thing is just a looming issue that seems to have been cast aside once she died, and I would like to think it would become an issue if it was left open any longer. Any sort of information helps.
