Refusing To Fund a Funeral 

When someone passes and there is money involved, you’ll always see someone’s TRUE colors 💔

What is the purpose of have a life insurance policy if the beneficiary isn’t going to use it towards your final expenses? That’s not supposed to be a come up for the beneficiary.

The law should make it so that funeral costs should be deducted PRIOR to disbursement of inheritance. Sadly,in a lot of cases the beneficiary is the least to honor the deceased.

She stuttering because she lying she greedy PERIOD

It was a life insurance why she didn’t just pay the funeral since it’s not coming out your pocket smh

Biggest waste of money: weddings and funerals.

lady you just took the money, a darn shame. she tried to put on a show

It all comes down to greed and money. The mama should have left a will.

I see why she had to sue. "I never said I wouldn't HELP HER!!!" Clearly she wasn't going to pay the whole thing with the money as she should've!!!

The defendant likes to manipulate things and to fit the narrative she wants. She knew she was wrong and literally laughed about it. Money makes people's true colors come out when loved ones pass

Defendant should have used that money to help pay for the funeral, then divided whatever was left between the three siblings. That would have been the fairest thing to do.

My go to show while at work!!

A lot of people say they would NEVER sue a family member. Those people probably have DECENT family that wouldn't screw them over to begin with. Cases like this make me want to give everyone in my family a huge hug, just for being kind and thoughtful human beings. I can't imagine how I would feel if money meant for a funeral(of a family member) was spent on a vacation. That's devious.

"I need you to answer in numbers not words....." The defendant is a horrible person. Shame shame shame shame

Sad mom’s insurance policies weren’t even much.. Yet, they still fought about it. Geez

Funerals are so expensive these days. Limousine rentals alone can run into thousands of dollars

I need the defendant to be a meme 😂😂😂 when she’s standing sideways took me out

Folks always fighting over money. This is why you get everything in writing.

Should've just put the funeral home on the policy.

I know someone whose father died and soon after his siblings came to take the father's houses from him. He kept proof for many years showing that he bought the houses for $50 each from the father. They stopped talking to him.

It is so sad when these issues end up in court. Im sure mom is turning over. Please make a will an save relatives all the drama so they dont end up in court🙏🙏🙏.

Both parties talk in circles ("with their flapping gums") and no evidence. Sad affair. 🙏

Blood is thinker than water until money is involved. Money is the only thing that can truly cut that bond in my opinion

Funerals bring out the worst in people.

The mom was paying insurance all those years and all she got was $5000 from both companies

She knew the mom didn’t want the policy to only go to one child. That defendant is greedy and her mom is watching.

That vacation was good…thats what that smile/laughter was😂😂😂😂

Life insurance is taken out so nobody will pay out of pocket expenses for their death. Unfortunately you have greedy relatives that think it's a cruise trip to Jamaica. Mom died and cha ching.....

DOUG FOUND OUT "IT IS WHAT IT IS " MEANS LOL

It always gets ignorant when people die. My step-dad died and his kids acted fuckkn fools about money and his things and they argued about somebody hiding money and lying just a fuckin mess. Glad I wasn't involved and just watched the chaos

Sadly, things can turn into a massive train wreck if a parent dies without a will.

Defendant....just say you kept the money for yourself 🙄🙄🙄

Ive said it once i will say it again...divorce and death bring out the worst in people. I call them the 2 D's. Smh

My mom didnt leave any will. I had to retain a lawyer and my brother & my niece totally showed out. Meanwhile I got the lawyer for everyone. $$ was split three ways and got still attitudes.. Haven’t spoken since!! I did what was supposed be done for funeral & burial of my parent..

Look at them old school wigs 😂

I absolutely hate what money does to people

The blond lady behind the defendant has crazy stalker eyes.

Family ain't shit

Girl bye! You knew there was an outstanding balance on your mom's funeral. Gone with all those tears.

Poor Mrs. Letty. 😔😔 what I see very often in the African American community is we don't want to tall about death. So we just keep living like we will not die. But if you don't ink it, it didn't happen. So it leaves the strain on the people left to mourn you. Momma Letty should have ink her desires

I told my family to cremate me…use the insurance money for bills

This is why I'm donating my body to Science 😉.

She leaned back to '06 with that NOOOOO when asked if her sister was still living with her lol 😂

When my mom passed I was scared my other siblings would like fight like this thank god we had a mediator.

If there was a life insurance policy in place, why are you getting contributions from family and friends for your mother's funeral. That's why they get a life insurance policy so you don't have to worry about that expense.

Wow, that defendant is a piece of work! 😮😡

All 3 sisters don't have shit being grown women. I feel sorry for MoMA dying in a nursing home and they are fighting over funeral money. When I buried my parents; I had siblings that took my parents belongings & house because they were financially irresponsible & greedy. I didn't worry because I was financially secure in my own right.

On a lighter note. Did anyone catch when the defendant said "everything was under the bed," meaning all the important documents!😂😂😂 IFKYK!

It’s so sad how people fight over a few dollars. ❤

Many years ago my mother bought a plot and headstone for herself, my stepdad did the same. They were side by side. This was in the early’80’s. Stepdad died first in the state the plots were purchased in. 15 years later my mother died. She was NOT in the state the plot was purchased in. For the body to be released from the funeral home and taken to the local airport, transferred to the plane, flown to the state the plot is in and transported to the burial site was around $7,000. I had to pay it that moment or the funeral home would not release the body. All of this to say, prepare for funeral arrangements BEFORE something happens, otherwise family members become responsible and it can run them into huge debt. I’m still paying it off. My wife and I have everything paid for NOW. Paperwork in order, home paid for, both vehicles paid for . When we’re gone, our children are taken care of in a will. Avoid emotional messes like what we see here.

sad… all monies should have gone towards the funeral! if any was left over you split it! poor mama 😢RIP

I went through something similar with my two siblings when my Mother passed. I’m the youngest in the family my siblings really killed me along with my Mother, then when it there evil ways backfired they decided to resurrect me back into their lives. I have let bygones be bygones. However it’ll never be the same. My advice for any person is make sure all of your business is taken care of before you pass, and we’re all gonna die, there’s no exceptions. Make sure everything is understood to the survivors so everyone can mourn and move on with life. It makes everything easier. That’s if you care.

Sisters suing sisters 😢😢😢😢😢

I don't trust plaintiff at all!!! Kudos to the defendant for 20+ years of sobriety 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

My mom passed in December, what the insurance didn't cover the three of us split it among ourselves. No fussing or anything it was are Mother ❤

10:03 Judge Joe Brown would have DEFINITELY called out the defendant taking ‘The Pose’…..! AND RIGHTFULLY SO! IT’S DISGUSTING, DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGRACEFUL…!! Tells you all you need need to know about this woman….and it’s nothing good!

She got $20,000 she can help pay for her mother's funeral. 10,000 is not enough. That doesn't cover burial and limo service or a repast🤔

“ I was the spoil one” what??? Yeah you were the one who broke your mother’s heart over and over again out there doing drugs.

People like this are disgusting fighting and sueing over money, especially family members

Poor people trying to manage and handle money is a very sad sight to see. This is why you have to have these conversations with family. It is so taboo for poor families to discuss money. Money is not an evil or bad thing, but the relationship with our finances is super crucial.

Heads up. If you find an insurance policy and when you call them, if they say they don’t have one ask who they sold it to

What the what?! This is really sad.

The blood of the coven is thicker than the water of the womb. Fixed it for you. That means the family you choose is better than the family you are born into.A lot of people think that just because we're family that you can walk all over you and do as they please. We're supposed to automatically forgive family no matter what.

Me & my siblings dodnt have any issues when our parents passed away. We used the insurance polices for their funerals and when we needed additional funds for mom; her favorite nuece paid the balance. Life is short! Dont fall oyt with family during your grief. So sad for this family.

The defendant is a horrible sister and i wouldn't go to her house or come around her again. She can't be trusted.

The outcome with family, when money is involved. Money is the root to evil!!!!!!! The Bible said it BEST!!!!!!

That “is what it is” and eye roll doesn’t seem sisterly to me but I’m gonna mind my business!

Im glad i can't have kids at this point i don't want greed to show up.

Something similar happened to me. My mother had a 50k life insurance policy. She left my sister as the beneficiary. Not long before her passing, she was telling me that she was thinking of changing it to me because she wasn’t sure my sister would do right. Fast forward. My sister used the money to pay for the funeral. She gave me and my brother 3k each. When we questioned her about splitting it evenly, she said she needed it for her kids private school tuition. A week later Facebook posts where she was on vacation. My brother was so angry. He wanted me and him to confront her together and bully her into doing what was right. But I wouldn’t do it. I knew how she was. She would’ve never budged and did what was right.

The defendant is greedy and very self-absorbed. She should be ashamed of herself.

They both were pretty obnoxious but pinstripe shirt annoyed my soul!!!🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣

It took me 10 years to pay for my tomb and casket but this is exactly why!!!

My momma told me that when my gma died the money that was Supposed To go to my mom her sister stole it and never told her about it kept it for her self 😢

What a shame, the three children are responsible for paying for burial cost. Why didn't you have her cremated, that is like $3,000. Shame on you people!

vultures fly when loved ones die unfortunately

I love how the sisters are like, "That's my sister! I love her." No malice in the suit. They just needed an impartial 3rd party to help them figure things out. Call you in the morning 😅

Hand on the hip says alot

This show needs to be done with everybody hooked up to a lie detector. Lol.

As the beneficiary of an insurance policy, you have no legal obligation to pay for the funeral unless stated by the policy, but morally you should.

The defendant is delusional and selfish!

She trifling period. You sat there and allowed your sister to pay the balance of your mom’s funeral expenses and knew they only had $5k. Should have signed the life insurance over to the funeral home but she was greedy.

Fighting over $5K. Both sisters are disgusting. The mother's estate was not worth fighting over. Both were greedy because neither one EVER gave the judge a clear answer to any of the financial questions. This poor mom had some sorry daughters.

The fact that she feels justified in keeping money for herself instead of helping to bury her mother. Thats crazy… were they really close like she said ?

This story makes me pause and think how grateful I was to be an only child when my Mommy passed. I was her only beneficiary and could handle everything as I saw fit without the added drama to grief. Goodness gracious, this sister is a bold face liar and spent that money instead of what was right by her mother.

I think both sisters mishandled their mother's money. You can tell they have deeper issues than this money because it's 3 of them and not one word is spoken on what the other sister has done for the mother while alive or her funeral.

Say no to drugs!

One sister admitted to being a former druggie but I think the other sister may be on something too. Either way this is a complete and uncoordinated mess.

There’s not enough land to build housing for people to live and people are living paycheck to paycheck but people pay $5k+ for a funeral & small plot of land to bury someone that died. They are not only burying tons of cement & metal but also gallons of embalming fluid. Maybe one day people will start figuring out a better way.

This is why I’m making sure everything dollar is split down the middle with my kiddos and why I’ll be handling all the funeral stuff so nobody has to ruin a relationship over it

I think there’s a misunderstanding about how life insurance works. I’m a licensed insurance agent and man these case makes me sad.

When it comes to lawsuits, blood is thicker than water is a fat load of bologna. They may be your family but they're still just ordinary people and on top of that if they are ordinary people who took advantage of you then that shows me that they don't have any respect for you whatsoever so why should you reciprocate. I don't have an issue with suing family over a legitimate thing. My problem is when family sues family over something stupid and petty.

I hope you ladies know this disappointed your mother.

WHAT A DAMN SHAME I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS WHEN FOLKS PASS AWAY $$$$ BRINGS OUT THE NASTY SIDE OF SOME THANK GOODNESS MY FAMILY HAVEN'T HAD THIS EXPERIENCE "PERSAY" . BUT MAKE SURE THOSE POLICIES HAVE ON THEM WHAT THEY WERE FOR & KEEP IT UPDATED. THANK GOODNESS MY MOTHER HERS HAD IT ALL IF NOT HER SON WOULD'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING LIKE HE DID OUT OF HER HM EVEN THE JEWELRY & ITEMS I BOUGHT HER . I JUST SAID I'M GOOD SHE ENJOYED MY GIFTS & PRESENTS WHILE SHE WAS ALIVE. JUST SAD & SICKENING THE DEFENDANT WASN'T GOING TO ASSIST I WONDER DID SHE BK SLIDE BECAUSE WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULDN'T HELP W/ THE COST OF THE HOME GOING PROCESS SHAME ON HER .

A life insurance policy goes to the beneficiary period. They do not have to use it to pay the funeral

she is between mad and happy

Sad

Those blood ties mean NOTHING to me out the gate now so I may or may not sue, I'll sure as hell cut EVERY tie for life period.

They both sounds sketchy.

I use to hate being the only child, but when it comes to things like this I have no one to fight with.

All the money should been counted together and all involved with the insurance situation. Everything up front.
