There have been some threads fairly recently about dealing with the aftermath of a death in the family - wills, Executors, trusts & such . Thought folks might be interested in this timely MSN.Com article.

It's a great no-nonsense article about being an Executor, not an easy job & one I wouldn't wish on anyone.

PS - Also found a life-expectancy calculator at the same site. Wow, I have a life expectancy of 102!! http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/calcs/n_expect/main.asp

Hmmmm, sorry about that, it was working fine about an hour ago. Let me try again...

woahhhhh, I am having trouble getting ANYTHING from MSN.Com(including the MoneyCentral article) to load now!! I did just get MSN.Com to load a minute ago, but then, 30 seconds later?...now it won't! They must be having server issues or something.
All together boys and girls...can we all say "system crash"?

We have not only had to deal with wills but also different trusts that were set up. After dealing with the trusts and wills of my parents (which took a year and a half) my FIL died (two years ago) and my dh is still finishing up his estate.

The best gift a parent can give to their children is having an estate attorney and a CPA to help take care of the will and trusts (if there are any), both in the set up and for after their death.
