<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have an open probate for Wife (appointing Husband as PR). Halfway through that process, Husband dies. Husband’s Will appointed Daughter, whom we are in the process of appointing as PR for Husband’s Estate. It is not a very complex
estate- the main asset is a house that we had just transferred out of Wife’s Estate and into the Husband’s name right before he died suddenly. There are two daughters who get along and to whom everything is now left in equal shares. Can Daughter, as PR for
Husband, act in this role to sign the paperwork to close out Wife’s Estate (as proxy for Husband who was PR for Wife)? Or should we try to combine the two probates? Looking for the fastest, most cost efficient process to finish both for this family.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to everyone for your thoughts!<o:p></o:p></p>
