Yeah, it's not like my sister or I need this money ASAP. (just the two of us as far as the estate)  But, what you are saying is true.  That and I have enough reminders about my mom's passing without having to deal with stuff like this.  I mean she was 84 with bad dementia, so her passing wasn't unexpected and she went relatively painlessly (and I am grateful for that).  But between  non tax agencies asking for proof of things  where there is no money involved and this, it's annoying/ a constant reminder
