I wondered where you were and hoped the good life was just taking up more of your time. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. My sincere condolences.
I've heard many stories of family issues when someone passes. I guess it would be too much to ask for it all to go smoothly. It makes sense that the executor might experience more issues that the others, no matter how fair they try to be. It really takes a strong, brave person to do that.
I'm glad to hear things may be smoothing out now. I hope 2026 serves you something better.
