It's a legal tern where we clean up the property of a deceased person and distribute the proceeds to the heirs. I had offered, several years ago, to take that on, but Mom wanted someone else to handle it. She made a good choice, as was her prerogative. Another of my siblings is handling it and doing a fine job.
I spent most of the day filling out forms, responding to emails and getting folks the information they needed. All this has to be done legal and proper.
This makes me think about things that I need to accomplish before my time is over.

Getting everything squared away is the best gift anyone can give their heirs. Go talk to an estate/probate attorney to get everything set up to keep your estate out of probate court. My mother did this, and the only expense to the estate was death certificates. My sister did not, and the attorney and court got almost 2/3 of the estate. If I had charged the estate for my time as the administrator, the other three heirs would have gotten nothing.
