One day unexpectedly your neighbour calls you and saying..........?

Question

I am counting my days, please accept all my mobile and immobiles properties. Will you accept them or refuse? How will you feel then?

Pls touch your hearts and answer me. This happened to a friend of mine.

Answer 1

I would accept the gesture for what it was. If their days are numbered and that is what they want to do accept graciously and talk to them about "Why their days are numbered.". Is this a medical. psychological or legal problem? You may be able to offer help for the latter two.

Answer 2

Depends on your current income and how close you are to the person.

Income: Inheritance incurs an inheritance tax. If most of his properties are non-liquid assets, you might get into a lot of trouble finding the cash just to pay for the taxes if you're a low income earner.

How close you are to the person: How much do you know of the person tells you much of his properties. Some properties just have a bad "chi", i.e. the hause is haunted, the car is about to explode, the dog is an insane wild beast with rabbies, the business is on the edge of bancruptcy etc... You need to know these things you cant just accept things like they are and say, hey thanks im too fortunate.

Otherwise: He might have given them to you because they have sentimental value.

Answer 3

I would suggest that if the person is in sound mind then their phone call was a wonderful gesture and the person should accept.

However I would also suggest that, if possible, they ask their neighbour to speak to a solicitor and draw up a will in case any distant family members wish to contest this phone call as an expression of this person's last wishes.

Answer 4

I would have to look into the legal ramifications of accepting such properties, if I were you. You don't know if there is a lien on any of the properties, or back taxes, or some sort of other liability that ultimately you would be responsible for. Tell the neighbor, you would like to help him, but want to cover your liabilities first......
Be careful.

Answer 5

Tell them to bequeath you their belongings in a will or formal letter that has been seen or signed by their solicitor. Otherwise, you'll feel awful if they don't die for a longtime and you have all their belongings, and if they do, who can prove it's legally yours anyway? You have no right to it unless they sign it over to you.

Also, make sure your neighbour is okay! Find out what's wrong and see how and if you can help.

Answer 6

I would try and find out her doctor or family to ensure she was ok. If she is well she may need treatment for a pschycological problem. If she has no family and you find her time is limited and she wants you to have them you would need it in writing or you may be accused of theft. She may not remember giving them to you the next day and think you have stolen them.

Answer 7

your neighbour sounds a little bit special to me. You may want to consider moving house.

Answer 8

u have ta go up ta the person and find out more and further one should not accpet if u find out it is on purpose the person is countin the dais......If anyone happens to do that to me i'd feel like its my fault and jst mope around...

Answer 9

I will accept it..sure if she/he wants me to have it otherwise she wont ask.
I will sell it on Ebay and they money I spend on charity in areas she interested in.

Answer 10

definitely accept them, but request that your neighbor write a will up so that their friends and family cannot dispute it.
