You would not believe how UNPREPARED families are to be on good ground to receive monies they were expecting when so and so passed on. The will they’re banking on is invalid. The decedent lives in another state. There’s been a CPA type guy running around doing things in the decedent’s name. It’s a cluster mess. Inheritances are like accident awards. There are people day dreaming what they’re going to do with this big score….and they don’t know that they don’t know it’s not going to go anywhere nearly as clean as they think. Probate administration involves providing sobering news. Gunslingers deal in lead, this office deals in the truth. Surrounding it with grace to help take some of the sting away. Money is very personal to people. Those who have any should make sure it goes to where it should. Families come apart often when someone dies, particularly if someone cops a resentment over his brother or his sister getting too much, being bossy, taking over without keeping them informed. The PhD’s in sociology and psychology that the court people say I have DOES come in handy. All I know is that with what I’ve had to face (self-inflicted or otherwise) I’ve got a PhD in Grief.
