<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I might differ on your conclusion, once the wife wrote on the husband’s list, in her handwriting, I would argue that was her disposition of real property by separate writing…..just off the cuff.
In regards to appraisal/opinions costs, that is on the wife’s estate as the PR has a duty to make an inventory and appraisement of all estate assets. In regards to shipping costs, check her Will, our Wills routinely say costs can be paid by the estate but
not mandated. Absent a directive, I am not sure what the rule is. Perhaps another will respond accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Hi All:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Wife died with a Will and no personal property list. Husband died 5 months earlier with long-detailed property list, but under the community property agreement, all property went to wife. Wife
wrote on husband’s personal property list that she would give the items as he directed when she passed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Thus, under wife’s Will, all personal property is divided with the real property into percentage shares, including “percents” to husband’s children named in husband’s personal property list, and
other heirs not on his list. His list reflects several pieces of art and expensive furniture and he put values next to some items, e.g., $6,000, $7,000, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Husband and wife were separated and planning to divorce when they died and wife intended to change her Will, but didn’t, so there is contention between wife’s family and husband’s family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Although my PR does not have an obligation to distribute the personal property based on husband’s list, I thought maybe we should send a letter to the heirs on the list and let them know what items
were designated to them and why it is not the estate’s duty to distribute according to the list. Then advise them that if they want one or more of the items designated to them, they would need to pay for a date of death appraisal and for shipping or any other
costs – and the value of the items will be deducted from their share of the rest of the estate. Note: we have a guardian ad litem watching out for the interests of two minors, and the minors’ parents are the ones on the list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Or, what do people recommend?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
