Re: surrogate court
I don't have enough information to competently answer your question, and the widow, not you, will have to consult an attorney to weed through this.
The only piece of advice I can give without reservation is that your friend does need a lawyer and should hire on with whom she is comfortable.
THE INFORMATION PRESENTED HERE IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND IS NOT INTENDED, NOR SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED, AS LEGAL ADVICE. FOR SPECIFIC ADVICE ABOUT YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, CONSULT YOUR ATTORNEY.
