Therapy Bits

So you all know my dad’s brother passed away last week.

And mom had to contact the insurance people about his life insurance policy. That is done, and she received paperwork back.

But in order to get the money a lot of hoops have to be jumped through.

My dad had no passport. Since my dad is next of kin, he needs to get one.

So today my sister applied for a passport for my dad.

We don’t know how long that will take to arrive, but it was a bit of a fiasco applying for it.

Apparently it took 4 attempts to get the photo of my dad correct and get it to go through for the application.

Then dad had to go to the guards and get the forms signed.

Also my mom is trying to get my uncle’s death certificate, she has an appointment next week to register his death and get the certificate.

It costs 25 euro for a death certificate. It is all money.

The passport was 75 euros.

There is so much to do when someone dies. It is definitely very stressful.

Mom told me today that she is going to go through all of her box of papers, write down everything that my sister and I need to know, just in case something happens to her or my dad.

I think that is a good plan.
