Chapter 17 / 27
Chapter 17 - THE MONEY THAT WASN’T THE SECRETPeople assumed this was about Evelyn’s money.
It wasn’t.
She had assets.
Condo sale proceeds.
Retirement accounts.
Approximately $610,000 total.
Enough for a comfortable retirement if managed carefully.
Daniel was successor power of attorney if she became incapacitated.
He was not currently controlling her funds.
I had no access.
The independent senior apartment we had discussed would cost about $4,600 per month including meals and transport.
Expensive.
Affordable for her.
Evelyn hated the idea because she viewed it as exile.
Not because I would inherit more if she moved.
Not because Daniel wanted her money.

The fight was about where she belonged.
