Ask Amy: Abandoned child now plagued by guilt
You and your other siblings should review the will and other documentation and do your best to approach this as a team.
Dear Amy: “Not Informed” is the retired officer who said his wife never gave him the chance to review their tax forms.
Yet every joint tax return must be signed by both spouses.
Don’t sign what you don’t understand!
Unfortunately, e-signatures can make it easy for one spouse to pose as the other and fraudulently sign for them.
I know a controlling spouse who did that repeatedly to keep his wife in the dark. Red flags for sure!
– A Sharing Spouse
Dear Sharing Spouse: A great point! Thank you.
