Five months ago, the unthinkable happened and just one aspect which isn’t even the most important, began to play out.
My email box and later – my time got filled with words like:
– death, passing
– coroner
– enquiry
– condolence
– estate cleaner
– senior next of kin
– stroke, funeral, cremation
– death certificate
– will, estate, probate, letters of administration
– shares, brokers, banks
– accountant, accountant, accountant
– lawyers, financial advisors, settlement agents
– did I say accountant?
– witnessed signatures, Justice of the Peace
– binding death agreement
– plaque, place, memorial
– power of attorney
– forms and phone numbers around and around the mulberry bush.
