can take a fee here. I didn’t and I think it was just 1%. We also had to pay an inheritance tax here, so that came out of the estate account.

Keep good records of every penny spent and keep receipts

We went through an attorney (expensive), but it is peace of mind for me that things are done right. The inheritance tax form was completed by her office and all other legal documents. This state is a pain.

My Mom’s house is on the market now (for one month). We remodeled it ourselves. I’ll be glad when this is over and I hope to never have to do this again!

Good luck with everything and I’m sorry for your loss.
