I’m realized more and more how much being the executor of the estate has really been grinding on me.
My sleep has really been affected, and because my focus has been so far off, I don’t feel like I have enough control over what’s going on with the estate.
I had my aunt mail me some documentation that I thought I needed, but it turns out she needs to file it with her tax return. Which of course is right around the corner. Sooo….I need to mail it right back.
I thought there was a missing life insurance policy, but I found it – now finding that it may be more trouble than it’s worth to try and cash it. Not that the money from it is inconsequential, but the effort that it will take (and the lawyer fees to probate the will, and the taxes on top of that) make it more complex than it was originally planned.
Already visited the accountant today, we’ll get set up for his 2008 tax return, then later (beyond tax season) I’ll get advice on how to distribute the estate.
On top of that, work is stress.
Was kind of hoping to get away this weekend and take a break. I really need to stick around though – and figure some of this stuff out.
