Um, the executors of my dad's estate (my died when I was 2) became my appointed custodial guardians. They basically sapped the estate in 'my benefit', kicked me out when I was 16/17, and I've since start started a litigation with legal counsel (5-6 years in the making). I've attached a longer version of it below. Unfortunately there was a stay of proceedings and court case is still going on, I'm not sure what details I can disclose. Let's just say, they've been proven guilty so far of negligence of executor and parental support duties, its not determining the extent of the breaches. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, there's not a good feeling to know you're not wanted by people who were supposed to be there for you eh? My experience is that wards of the state, at least in the Canada, get swept under the rug until age of protection is reached. How did things work out for you and your sister? I'm happy to hear that your maternal grandparents pulled though. Can I ask what happened to your folks? https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3nvfz8/serious_redditors_who_have_completely_ruined/cvrqasb?context=3
