Letter sent to my sister’s ex husband will explain my situation when we found out he accepted a beneficiary check that was never meant for him. Our family needs to get in touch with you regarding a very serious mistake made by my sister prior to her death. She had 2 different PERA accounts. She most definitely assumed the PERA accounts were combined when she changed the beneficiary after your divorce. Legal paperwork can be confusing. This was definitely an oversight on her part. In her final days, she scrambled to get her finances in order. The cancer took her faster than we or she anticipated. She wanted her immediate family to inherit ALL her assets. Her family meant the world to her. We were there holding her hand throughout this entire process. She suffered terribly. Without being rude, do you really think she would have left you a dime? You got your current wife pregnant while you were an officer in the Air Force and you were still married to my sister. You broke her heart more than anyone in her life. I don’t know what makes you feel entitled to her money. We are all dumbfounded that you accepted the money and now you are avoiding us. You are disrespecting her wishes and you are hurting our family. We have enough to grieve about. This is a blow to us because we know she would be devastated if she knew you got her money. It is obvious you are financially set with your current situation. Your family’s needs and wants were never my sister’s concern or problem. You no longer have to share your Social Security with her, which was in your divorce agreement. It was also in your divorce agreement that you would not go after each other's retirement. If you were to die before her, she was going to put your social security money in a Trust for your children because she was a good person. She didn’t want to hurt your children. She didn’t want your wife to get any of that money if you would have died before her. If we take this to court, it can be drawn out and we all will be paying money for lawyers. I will have a slew of people that will testify on my sister’s behalf. I hope you do the right thing and respect what my beautiful sister would have wanted.
