[quote=Anonymous]I was the executor and trustee of my parent's estate, and I have two siblings - each of whom struggle w/ addiction and mental illness. Having legal advice was CRITICAL to navigating the waters. In your shoes I would: - take all the relevant paperwork to your house. Don't destroy it but take it with you so you can sort it through. - Talk w/ an estate attorney. Let her/him tell you which accounts fall outside estate/probate issues and just transfer to you, and which do not. Get that guidance in writing. - Put all historical statements, intents, etc... to the side. Just get the estate legally processed, as transparently and quickly as possible. The law will be your ally if you use it from the start. All the emotional crud will only inflame tensions and make things more complicated and painful than they already are. Good luck.[/quote]
