Somehow, the vultures always seem to know when someone is dead before the family even calls the funeral home. When my older brother passed away, I went to his office to collect what few things of value he had for his surviving daughter. The vultures had already put a seal on it. It would have cost us more to collect it through the probabte/litigation process than it was worth.

Most of it had little or no monetary value, only sentimental. The b*st*rds still wouldn't let us touch anything. I suppose we should have collected it before he died, but when a loved one is fighting for their life in a hospital, you don't always think clearly about that sort of thing.

I am just curious, but what vultures do you mean here? I have never heard of something like this? If these were these creditors, then I guess I understand, although I agree it is terrible for personal sentimental items to get caught up in this. How does one protect themselves/family from these vultures?
