thank you, but I have done that with the $26,000 and find at 2006 rates, it says about a half million dollars. that $26,000 figure may be somebody's guess or what they wanted to believe.............is not a confirmed figure. my question pertains to determining the value of the estate based on the amount of bonds required to process the estate. i.e. a $1000 bond is required for an estate of $10,000, or a $5000 bond is required for an estate of $50,000, and so on................................... is there a method of doing that? -----Original Message----- From: Tom <texastee10@att.net> To: ohhamilt@rootsweb.com; harand8479@aol.com Sent: Fri, Jan 15, 2010 11:26 am Subject: Re: [OHHAMILT] Question--Guardian & Estate Bond http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ This website will calculate what yesteryears dollars would be worth in ecent times.

Guardianship papers for each of his 5 children contained a note that the guardian bond was $10,000. So $50,000 was required in bonds for them. A notation on an Estate paper says the bond was $64,000 for George Shillito, administrator. The only thing concrete I could find was a statement that a bond should be twice the value of the minor's personal property, and that statement is from a current guardian bond website. Somewhere in family lore was an idea that his home on Central Avenue was worth $26,000. By the standards of 2006's money, that is close to half a million dollars. Any ideas on the value of the estate, and........where could I look to find the answer. Answers for this ancestor have been terribly elusive.
