Really annoyed at my estranged terminally ill father

Check their website; they have info on recycling electronics through them. I think the usual method is to take a couple larger items at a time. My husband and I had some old laptops to offload so we brought them in two at a time (I think 2-3 was the max) to the Customer Service desk and just handed them over.

Final (and I hope forgivable after 10 weeks) bump.

My dad passed away 5 days after my last post. I went home in September for a brief memorial gathering at one of my aunts’ houses (one of the ones that was estranged from my dad) and took a look through some of his computer stuff that the caretaker aunt wasn’t sure what to do with. (All able to be discarded, though I kept a couple of really old floppy disks for entertainment value). My aunt gathered up his important papers, and set aside any photos or other interesting things she thought I might want.

All told my dad was in the nursing home less than 2 weeks. The nursing home was pre-paid out of his checking account for 2 weeks before they let him move in, so no debt there, and the money in his checking account should cover his small medical bills. The state of NY does not want the house because medicaid never kicked in for him - he died too quickly - and so they did not need or want his assets.

My aunt (the one who was taking care of him) has graciously agreed to be the voluntary administrator of the estate and in return I will be handing the house over to her son for cheap after the estate is settled. The lawyer who drew up my dad’s power of attorney is helping her with the court filings, etc. I am getting to know the notary public at my bank pretty well - lots of stuff to sign, notarize and send back. It seems to be working out very well for me.
