Re: Family Death
Your friend will, in addition to losing both parents, have to make his way in the world. There are MANY things to think about and arrange for as best as he can. I understand your question, but your friend and his mother should NOW sit down with an attorney and make some plans.
This is a horrible situation, and I or someone like me can help.
