You can never have enough...

Yep OH - that initial period of grief is not made easier by the dreaded paperwork - we had a joint bank sundry account with very little money in it - the bank closed the joint account and opened a bank in my name probably 3 weeks after my husband passed - weeks later when I hit the Winz hurdle the dumb person handling my case demanded a bank statement in my name dating from my husbands death - as if on the day he died I would have thought gosh I best ring the bank and move that $900 into my name - I gave her the transaction record she could see the balance hadn’t changed - then she wouldn’t accept copies the bank had given me as they were black and white the bank logo wasn’t coloured even though the bank had certified the copies .I had to get my nephew the lawyer to deal with her in the end
