When an estate is sizeable - [over $50 K] in most states the administrators have to file all sorts of surety bonds etc Also google the names of the law firm [and individuals] and see what pops up - amazing What is public information They do have a web page, and yes the estate is over $50k. We aren't sure though if the Will was filed in California. If it is, then you have to know exactly what county right? Wonder where you go to search court records on line. This is very important to me, Maureen Newman is my very best friend and she is suffering from Cancer. The state supplied doctors don't offer her much hope and her husband Tom wants to use these funds to get her a good doctor in the private sector. Renee
