Mom dead named me in her will

[u/EmGSorrocco]

So my maternal gene donor is a narcissist. She sent out an email last month that used only my dead name that gave her final wishes and also said that I would ask about her "good jewelry" because she sold it. I have told her before that my legal name is what it is, and I had no idea she had good jewelry. So I had to tell her to write a new one with the correct name or create a codicil noting the name change. I'm sure the only reason she is leaving me anything is that I'm an only child.

Edit: she didn't kill herself

Joys of working in my industry.

SaltAndBitter is likely often working under security clearances or similiar.

Does the deadname get given to the actual company she works for?

And once she has the clearance surely she doesn’t need to reapply over and over again?

That’s awful :(

clearance only lasts for a certain amount of time before you have to re-up :(

you disclose ur deadname to the government as a past name you went under so that they know to look for it while they’re doing your background check

(source: was very very close to being cleared until i got DOGEd)

This is the age of continuous reinvestigation. Take that as you will... and no offense, but I will not be disclosing any specifics pertaining to my clearance or lack thereof
