I was supposed to go to court on Monday to start probate on Richard’s estate.

The purpose of the proceeding is to give me legal authority to handle Richard’s financial affairs. I need this authority to close out his accounts and clear up the final details of his financial life.

My lawyer called today. Whether by a mistake of his staff or the clerk at the courthouse, our case didn’t get on the docket for Monday. It will have to wait till next week.

We had to wait 3 months to get the death certificate. I guess one more week won’t be that important in the final big picture.

Frustrating though.
