Is this about his mom's estate? I remember us talking about it, but don't remember all the details... Is the house empty? If so, ask about insurance on the house, most times insurance doesn't cover empty houses.

How does she plan on disposing of all the stuff, he could recommend a family auction like we did, I think that was a really fair way of divvying things up.

Did he get a copy of the will? if not, he should

Is there a lawyer? What is their name?

Has the will been admitted to probate? Have Letters Testamentary been issued?

Does JoanEllen need any help (she may appreciate this one, because it can be very overwhelming - I know this from experience).

Will an appraisal be done on the house?

I will add more if I think of it - anyone else want to contibute to this???

Mare - you are the legal eagle!! I can't think of anything else.

Eileen, tell Steve our thoughts are with him - not an easy time.
