- 0:29Speaker 4: My grandfather passed away a few weeks ago, and for
- 0:32Speaker 4: the last year of his life, I was the one
- 0:34Speaker 4: that was, you know, taking care of him every single day.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I was staying with him.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Drove him to appointments, cooked for him, helped him bathe
- 0:41Speaker 4: sometimes you know everything.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry. First of all, I'm sorry that he passed.
- 0:46Speaker 2: That's tough.
- 0:46Speaker 4: He was a good man, he was absolutely Yeah, I
- 0:49Speaker 4: had the time. I'm glad I could have, you know,
- 0:51Speaker 4: helped him in his last year. I'm glad I was
- 0:53Speaker 4: there for him. But yeah, after he passed, I still
- 0:57Speaker 4: had access to his wallet and his credit card, and
- 1:00Speaker 4: at first, you know, I used it to like buy
- 1:02Speaker 4: groceries for the house because I was still staying there
- 1:05Speaker 4: handling all this stuff, and then I ended up using
- 1:07Speaker 4: it for like gas, food, little things I needed. Nothing crazy,
- 1:10Speaker 4: you know, no vacations, no TVs, no dumb stuff like
- 1:13Speaker 4: I'm not gonna, you know, have a shopping spring or anything.
- 1:16Speaker 4: And in my head, I like I justified it because
- 1:18Speaker 4: I kept thinking, you know, Grandpa wouldn't care. He just
- 1:20Speaker 4: want me taking care of you know. But the thing is,
- 1:23Speaker 4: now everything is kind of blowing up and going haywire.
- 1:27Speaker 4: One of my aunts thought charges still happening on the
- 1:30Speaker 4: credit card account for my grandfather.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And she was like, you know, she started asking questions.
- 1:35Speaker 4: In the family group chat, people are freaking out, saying
- 1:38Speaker 4: somebody committed fraud and talking about calling it police. I
- 1:41Speaker 4: have not yet admitted it was me, and I just
- 1:47Speaker 4: kind of stayed quiet while everybody was like, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 4: guessing who did it. And now I'm panicking because I
- 1:53Speaker 4: I thinking I might have, you know, crossed the line
- 1:56Speaker 4: I can't.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Uncross, you know, well, yeah, I mean, is fraud because
- 2:01Speaker 2: they can track all of.
- 2:02Speaker 3: It, well, they eventually they will.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Now I'm not a lawyer, but when somebody dies, you
- 2:06Speaker 2: can't use their stuff.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I mean you have a certain amount of time. No,
- 2:10Speaker 3: I don't think you have it. No. Well okay, well,
- 2:13Speaker 3: well then you're criminal too, if that's what you're about saying.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie with my dad.
- 2:17Speaker 5: When my dad passed away, I bought a house on
- 2:20Speaker 5: his credit. I didn't buy the house, but you know,
- 2:23Speaker 5: my sister is a rule follower. But I did have
- 2:25Speaker 5: my dad's American Express. I did use that for about
- 2:29Speaker 5: three months. Three months. You can't do that, I mean
- 2:34Speaker 5: that's fraud.
- 2:35Speaker 3: How's it fraud?
- 2:36Speaker 2: The minute somebody passes away there unless you have a
- 2:40Speaker 2: joint account. Unless it's a joint account, right, Yeah, you
- 2:43Speaker 2: can't use their credit cards?
- 2:44Speaker 3: Yeah, well anything, I know, you can't whether you had
- 2:47Speaker 3: access or not. Yeah, I know.
- 2:49Speaker 5: I added me as a I got an additional car.
- 2:52Speaker 3: You're literally admitted to fraud. What did you spend it on?
- 2:57Speaker 5: Just stuff for the house, for the house and stuff
- 2:59Speaker 5: like that. I think I might have bought my oldest
- 3:01Speaker 5: son something. Oh yeah, yeah, Well, I mean, well okay,
- 3:06Speaker 5: one of the bankers said I had about ninety days.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I no, you don't. I had to turn it into
- 3:10Speaker 3: death sertific and stuff. Like, was that banker you? No,
- 3:14Speaker 3: my banker me? Yeah, chat GPT.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So you haven't told anybody in the family anything about
- 3:23Speaker 2: this because you think they're well, I mean, it is
- 3:26Speaker 2: kind of messed up that you're the one who took
- 3:27Speaker 2: care of them.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Why are they so worried about it now if they
- 3:29Speaker 3: didn't help?
- 3:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I feel like I still kind of
- 3:33Speaker 4: feel like, you know, I earned that money after everything
- 3:36Speaker 4: I did for him, you know, and like I know
- 3:38Speaker 4: that he wouldn't mind, But I also know that that
- 3:42Speaker 4: probably doesn't matter legally. So now I'm over here just
- 3:46Speaker 4: terrified I'm about to get arrested over like fast food
- 3:49Speaker 4: and groceries because I made one bad decision that turned
- 3:52Speaker 4: into weeks of doing the thing.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Okay, well, yeah, we might have to call we might
- 3:58Speaker 3: have to call our lawyer friends, yeah, Bailey and Kellyan,
- 4:01Speaker 3: just to see what the legalities of this are, because no,
- 4:03Speaker 3: I think they would know.
- 4:04Speaker 2: The minute someone passes, you have to refrain from using anything,
- 4:09Speaker 2: otherwise people would be doing this all the time. You're
- 4:11Speaker 2: just running up somebody's credit card. That debt has to
- 4:13Speaker 2: go somewhere, right, doesn't it go to their estate. I
- 4:16Speaker 2: would think so the state, all that debt pood where
- 4:18Speaker 2: to go?
- 4:19Speaker 3: My sister paid it?
- 4:21Speaker 2: Oh my she paid your poor Morgan. All right, well
- 4:27Speaker 2: they're going to find out it's you. I mean, all
- 4:28Speaker 2: they got to do is pull cameras somewhere was last
- 4:30Speaker 2: year's secret.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Might as well end this as soon as possible.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I can see where you would want to justify using it, though,
- 4:36Speaker 2: because it's hard taking care of people, being the caregiver
- 4:38Speaker 2: for that long.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Yeah, feeling like no one's thinking you and.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I'm sure your grandfather wouldn't care, But unfortunately the law
- 4:45Speaker 2: does so for crazy and Karen launches a full blown investigation.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I would say something that
- 4:54Speaker 1: Her name is actually there you go
