It was quite simple because she had distributed many of her possessions before she came to live with us. I didn’t have any trouble except that she left specific amounts of money to the beneficiaries and there wasn’t enough money to go around. When I made my will, I put in percentages instead of actual amounts. I didn’t take a fee for being executor because it was for family and it didn’t take long to do the job."
