[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Executor/SIL lived in the same town as late mother.  Out if state. But she was overwhelmed and within a month of the funeral we spent days up there cleaning out condo. Executor couldn't/didn't.  We found miscellaneous financial paperwork incl life insurance that we passed onto executor. We then asked executor what she needed.  She wanted to consult with an estate lawyer but said she didn't have money to get things going.  Within a day if that conversation we asked her to find an estate lawyer and that we'd front some money to get things started.  She gave us a name within 2 days and we sent the money directly to the estate lawyer to get things started.  We knew it would cost more to settle but the intention was to just start the process til she could access bank accounts, life insurance etc. We lived several hundred miles away so we couldn't help much more with day to day stuff.  My other brother in law lived locally and offered to run errands for her, go to court, help with banking, etc.  She kept saying no.  The only time she would make contact with us was to request money (first for lawyer to get rolling, then a year later in a oanic about the foreclosure.). Btw, when we lent the estate the 40k to pay off the note we kept asking why it was an emergency and hadn't she received notices.  She was always vague. And would get defensive.  She always said she was the victim in all this.  [/quote]
