Sooo sorry for your loss @Celticstar. I agree with you on the fear of worst ways out. Loss is hard. Horrific loss even harder. And then some bureaucratic nonsense that gives no accommodation to the deceased or the grieving is infuriating. As hard as that was to share the timely advice for the preparation for the living in such a case to care for the families post process is actually very kind of you. Thank you so much.

Thank you to you and all others expressing condolences.
I have gotten to the point now where I allocate free time to myself and my wife everyday, free of all the hassles. Before I was worrying too much about the banks and insurance companies requirements primarily and it was starting to affect my health. Now, they can deal with the lawyer I was forced to hire by the probate court, for $5,000.00, to get executor status on my sister’s estate.
It still seems so ridiculous to me that this is such a cash grab for an estate that has no assets to speak of and no other living relatives.

I was never a huge fan but I respect her so much. One of those people like Ronnie Spector that went through the worst and still killed it. She deserves all the success she had.
