sitting well with C2’s surviving wife, primarily because the title company’s
manager was not willing to provide her any information even though she
identified herself as PR for C2’s estate. Further, she would like to have all
the information provided to the title company by C1, like the Statement of
Identity for C2, herself, and their children that was completed by C1. But she
was told by the manager that she needs to get an attorney to request information
from the title company…?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Is there something here that I am
missing? Why would the title company require her to have an attorney to request
such information, specifically when the information is about her, her deceased
husband and their two children? </span></p>
