Virginia, Gloria and Dolly – A Room of One’s Own
I read Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own at an impressionable age. It was the 1980s, and women were grappling with issues of economic independence and freedom. I came away from that book believing, perhaps too simply, that economic independence was the key to every other kind of independence.
Question: My father recently passed away. I have one brother and one sister. The will divides the assets equally among the three of us. My father’s will has nominated my sister as Executor. She declared bankruptcy several years ago and I do not think that she should serve as Executor. Do you have any advice?
Question: My mother just passed away. She did not have a Will, but I know that she wanted me to inherit everything as I am her only child. She was estranged from her husband, who is not my father. I am afraid that without a Will her assets will be taken by the State. What is going to happen?
Question: My brother is the Executor of my mother’s estate. It has been three years since she died, and he has not distributed anything. What do you recommend I do?

Question: I loaned my friend money and, before he could repay me, he died. Will I still be able to collect the debt owed to me?
Question: My dad died. He was remarried and survived by a wife and two children from that marriage. I’m a non-marital child. There is no last will and testament. I think he owns some property in his own name but everything else is joint with his wife. What happens now? What rights do I have?
Question: Can you tell me about any updates to estate and gift taxes for 2019?

Question: My mother recently passed away. I am the nominated executor of her estate. Her Will directs that all of her personal property is to be shared equally among her children. Can you give me any suggestions about how to divide the personal property?
My sister wants me to sign a document that allows her to probate my mother’s will. The problem is that the will favors my sister, and I think the circumstances around the will are suspect. Is there a way I can get more information about the will signing?
