Chapter 4

Coral's POV

The next day we went to the lawyer and other people that were involved with my parents will. When everyone was sited the meeting began.

"We are all here today to talk about the last will and testimony that was left by Mr. and Mrs. Sea." said one of the men in the room. I didn't pay attention to his name so lets call him Bob because to me that is the name I would give him because he seemed to be a pretty normal guy. "Are we all in agreement?"

Everyone nodded so he continued, "The will states that the legal guardians are Rider Sea, Robert Sea, and Richard Sea. All belongings have be left to their daughter Coral Sea." I had assumed that every thing was left to me because I was their only kid and my mom's parents had died a few years ago and left everything to her. That's why I assumed that they left everything to me. But I had no clue who were my legal guardians until now. "The will also states that all financial issues be dealt with one of her legal guardians present until Coral has completed her schooling or until she is at minimum of 20 years old." I also know that there would be rules. "Even though a legal guardian must be present at all big decision involving money. None of the legal guardians will be able to remove money from the accounts with out Corals consent. That means that all the money, the house, the cars, the boat, and anything else that they own has be left to Coral." Bob said in a very serious voice.

There was a mumble of 'yes' or nodded of heads.

Bob continued "They have also left a letter to Coral with me. I don't know what is written in the letter but my instructions were to only give the letter to Coral if she was 18 years old or younger. Which I believe that you are 14 years old correct?"

I wonder what was in the letter. "Yes, I am 14." I said but it was a struggle because my throat was really dry.

"Great," said Bob "they have also left a letter addressed to the three uncles." My uncles nodded their heads to signify that they understand. "Ok, well that is all that is written in the will. I will be back in half an hour with the letters. For the time being Mr. and Mrs. Sea's accountant, financial advisor, and the repetitive from the bank," pointing to each one of the people that were sitting beside him. "Will help you sort out the best option's for all the financials and discuss what you accounts the money will be transferred to. They with also put you in touch with real estate agents, etc… that can help you sell the big things if you decide to sell them. That is all and I'm very sorry for your lose Coral. Your parents were good people." He sounded sad when he said that.

"Thanks" I said but it made me sad when he said that.

After the lawyer left, the other three men handed my uncles and me a list of things my parents owned. They told my that I had to choose if I was I there going to sell it or keep it. I didn't really want to deal with it now but it was better to just get it over with so I could start building my life back up again. The list had about 30 things on it. I didn't know what a bunch of them were so I just told them what I wanted to be done with the stuff that I new about.

"The house should be sold because I can't live by myself and I don't think keeping it is a good idea. The cars should be sold as well because I want be driving for a few years. The boat can be sold as well; even though I would love to keep it, it's just to hard to keep it maintained and if I what to go sailing I can just ask one of my friends from the club if I can go with them at some time and I can also take lessons if I want to right." My uncles nodded their heads. "And all the other stuff I have not clue what it is so could you tell me what it is and what I should do with it."

They nodded their heads again and started telling me what it was and what should do with it. The three men at the other side of the table were putting there input in and righting down beside each thing on the list what was going to happen. I kept asking questions about things because I didn't know what they meant and know that I had to learn it at some point in my life. They were very kind about me asking them all these questions and answered them to there full ability. In 2 hours we were able to figure out what was happening with everything and I learned all the things that were important for me to know about like different types of bank accounts, taxes, and mortgages, and a bunch of other things. I also had the letter that my parents had left me.
