<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Thanks very much for your reply, Jennifer. I agree it's not a situation that lends itself to a legal solution very well. I just wanted to be sure there wasn't something I was overlooking. I will suggest to my client that they try to get a common friend/advisor to help nudge the son-in-law or try mediation. </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><b><font color="#e06666">COVID-19 message:</font><font color="#0000ff"> </font></b></font><b style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><font color="#0000ff"> <a href="https://lucentlaw.com/a-message-from-lucent-law-regarding-covid-19/" target="_blank">If you have an in-person appointment or are planning to come to our office, please read.</a></font></b></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Spencer A.

interact with everyone? Parents send S-I-L a letter expressing their feelings and how important this monument is to them? Family counseling/mediation? <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;color:black">I have a client who has asked for help with a situation that I can't quite figure out an angle on. His adult daughter died about 3 years ago. She was married. Her
ashes have been placed in a niche at a local cemetery, but her husband (client's son-in-law) has not had a plaque put on the niche. This is upsetting to the client and his ex-wife every time they visit. The contract with the cemetery is in the son-in-law's
name. The client has offered to take care of getting the plaque made and installed, but the son-in-law insists he will take care of it. It's gotten to the point that the son-in-law is quite testy about it every time it comes up. Is there anything the client
can do to force the son-in-law to get this done? It doesn't seem to fall within anything having to do with custody or disposition of remains and it also doesn't seem to have anything to do with the late daughter's estate to bring in TEDRA.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
