Lost Assets
Dedicating her life to her husband, her children and her home, Nona Oliver never thought she would be in the financial situation she is in today. When her husband died, Nona claims, her daughter said to sign these papers, "‘what it is, mother, is that when you pass away everything will come to Jaylee and I’" Oliver signed, "then, when I decided that I wanted my annuities to start coming in, what I found out was she had power of attorney and I cannot get any money out of that unless she signs the checks, and she will not sign a check." Her advice to anyone who is dealing with their money issues, get a good lawyer. "Take them (your papers), don’t sigh anything until you find out what in the world you are signing." warns Nona.
But that was not the beginning of some of Oliver’s troubles. Back in 1987 she and her husband just returned from a trip to China when all of a sudden her husband, Bruce, was hospitalized for quadruple bypass surgery. After three months he returned to work to the company he had been with for 37 years. During this period his company changed hands, and when he was back on the job for one month "he just got a notice" that he was being let go. "That’s all my husband knew was to go to work. During the first two years it was really tough on him", remembers Nona. His whole social life revolved around work, he belonged to several organizations through work like Pop Warner and Little League, his friends were at work. Although he received a retirement package their lives changed greatly. Nona felt it was a hard adjustment for her as well, getting used to having him around all the time. "He was like a workaholic...and when he came home he was sick to his stomach, he said ‘now what do I do?’"
