A family loss turned into a financial shock after thousands vanished from a dying mother's account.
Randall, a Cincinnati resident, told "The Ramsey Show" he was trying to sort out missing money, a disputed inheritance and rising tension with one of his brothers after his mother's death.
"I'm just kind of overwhelmed with it," Randall said.
His mother died after a year of health problems linked to dementia. In her final months, both of Randall's brothers were living with her, and his middle brother handled most of her care and medical visits.

When Randall later stepped in to manage the estate, a review of bank records showed that $35,000 was withdrawn from his mother's account over six months.
"You call the police," co-host John Delony said. "This man stole $35,000 from your mother, and it needs to be investigated."
A House, A Missing $35,000 And A Family Rift
Randall said his relationship with his middle brother is now strained, but he remains close with his older brother.
"That's the way addicts — that's the way thieves justify their behavior," Delony said after Randall said his middle brother may have viewed the money as payment for the care he provided.
His mother's will left him the house, while the belongings inside were meant to be divided among the siblings. Both brothers, ages 54 and 51, are still living in the home, valued at about $140,000.

Even so, Randall said he was still wrestling with what to do about his brother and whether to give him any money.
"Why would you give him money?" co-host Ken Coleman asked.
Sell, Split Or Take Legal Action
Delony said Randall could set a timeline, require his brothers to move out and proceed with selling the home.
Coleman said that if Randall chose to divide any proceeds, the missing $35,000 could be deducted from his brother's share.
"It's time for you to stop taking care of him — he's a big boy," Delony said.
