   Your elderly mother, and roommate, dies. Do you a) notify your family to prepare for the funeral; b) call the authorities to remove the body; or c) bury the body in your backyard and have a bonanza with her checking account

At least he didn't just shove the corpse in a closet or leave it in the bed like they usually do in these stories.

Must have been quite the bank account, to afford a V-tailed doctor killer.

Apparently not. My mother was in a joint checking account with her brother-in-law for years and helped him by making his deposits and paying bills while he was progressively getting worse. When he died, the lawyer told mom she should not even make deposits for a few months while the details of the will were settled. Even though she is technically and legally entitled to half the account, she cannot yet use it.

Not to be snarky about it, but a proper burial costs an arm and a leg.

This stuff probably happens several times a month, if not several times a day.

If she had, say, outstanding credit card debts or back taxes, those are supposed to be paid out of the estate before the inheritors get a penny. Will or no will.

This one was patient. I have 2 aunts that that didn't wait for the death of my grandparents. One each on my mothers and fathers sides of the family. Why split with your family when you can run thru the cash sell the antiques and cash out life insurance policies. I am so glad that my brother and I don't want or need anything from our parents.

I live not far from there. Maybe this will keep the local yokels busy and slow the speedtrap mentality in that town.

Yep. I have a friend who almost did the "she's dead, can't I just drain her accounts?" thing. Fortunately, we stopped her before she did something that would make the IRS and probate court come knocking.

Yes this worked quite the fine way for me thank you very much for the compliment of this!

Also I believe that the issue here could also be that this is not really the mother of him and she is also the missing person because the police are trying to solve this and perhaps he had the lover who was the elderly woman.

That got me to thinking, randomly, what if you didn't like the deceased person and didn't want to spend any money on the burial. Could you just call 911 and report the body and be done with it? Presumably the coroner would eventually contact you to release the body. Could you just say "I don't want it, do whatever you want with it"?

Wouldn't the checking account BE the bonanza and not something with which a bonanza would been have had with?
