Yeah, the current manager was there and he called their main office. I gave him the court order but I don't have my new SS card yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
Problem stems from the account being assigned to the Investment, Will, and Living Trust that has JoAnn and I as partners. I'm still listed under my old name in all those documents and they legally can't dispense money from that account unless my current name is on the trust. That means going to a lawyer to change the Trust, then amending and recording every document we have concerning our properties. WE AREN'T RICH BY ANY MEANS, but JoAnn was able to see some great value in old houses so we bought them for next to nothing. This bank thing means redoing all the deeds and having them recorded, but it also may require another court appearance that we were trying to avoid until we decide to divorce. I'd rather just start a new account in my name and have my SS check deposited into it each month. That should cover all my monthly expenses for transition and living.
Anyway, for my own peace of mind I'm leaving for a quite a while, and may return in a few months. I'm not really sure what's in my future, but whatever I'm doing, and wherever it may take me, I'm going to do it as the authentic Lady Katherine. Or maybe I should be Princess Katherine.
Take care girls. Peace, love, and a warm hug from a girl who's found herself. K
