      <div>An additional issue: the deceased sibs live in Ireland and
        have control over deceased's bank account and assets in Ireland.
        There is good reason to suspect they already transferred his
        assets. I think I should also get a TRO for the overseas
        accounts. </div>

      <div>If you would be willing to share any thoughts or pleadings
        for an Order Shortening Time and a TRO for assets, I would be
        most grateful. But I completely understand that's a tall order
