Ambulance chasing

[Jenet Christiansen]

I just got yet another letter from an "investor" in my area asking if I plan to sell my home since I am my Dad's Personal Representative. I have had enough...I have gotten about 30 letters since he died in April. I find it a disgusting tactic and heartless. Someone DIED. Someone I loved and who was the biggest part of my life. Maybe REI is not for me after all if I have to take advantage of other people's weaknesses and kick them when they are down. I went on the guys FB and reviewed him too. I hope he loses business because of it.

You have the option of not opening the letter, not reading, not responding and not taking an offer to be personally offensive.

When my Dad died, few wanted to help. I would have welcomed the letters that you are all steamed up over. My Mom channeled her feelings by helping others and cleaning her cabinets. 

Also, technically, it's not 'ambulance 'chasing. Different vehicle.

Meanwhile, it will get better. I've been PR of 16 estates now. It's no cakewalk. The little bit of money you receive is not worth the trouble. So, you don't do it for the money. 

You do it because it's the right thing to do, the family needs a stand-up guy and you were the best choice.
