Egad I hate lawyers
A few weeks ago, I received a waiver which I agreed to sign over the phone. When it arrives I notice that I was named the “son” of the “decedent.” After a call to the lawyer, a corrected copy arrives via email for me to print out.
Then I notice the document had me living in the county and state where the “son” of the “decedent” lives. After consulting with the lawyer AGAIN, I correct the document myself before going notary hunting.
Fine. All done, right? Nope.
In comes a new waiver to sign. I agree to it as well, sign it, and send it back (fortunately certified with return receipt) within 5 business days (4 considering the holiday). That’s not too shabby I think.
But on 2 June, I get a rather curt, lawyerly email hinting that I haven’t sent it. I respond that I sent it out 29 May and I suspected it would therefore arrive any day now.
What I didn’t do is look up the return receipt on the postal service’s website. I just did. And guess what they attempted to deliver to the lawyer’s office 7 hours *prior* to her curt note to me. Give up? <SNL Church Lady voice>Could it be…. A WAIVER?</SNL Church Lady voice> And as best as I can tell, it’s living at the post office because I don’t have my signed receipt yet. I’m sure this is somehow my fault….
Holy cow. I can’t wait to see what the next missive brings….
