I wanted to thank you all for the responses... Some further information regarding what was brought up. The numbers that I put forth were after the Federal and State taxes were applied (My Uncle was domociled in NJ, which has one of the stiffest taxes on inheritance). I have spoken with my advisor and will likely get a CPA involved shortly. I was the Executor of both estates which was overwhelming to say the least, but I made some attorneys earn their money and tried to educate myself along the way about the myriad of rules. I am just at the final stages now of the distribution part and wanted some outside views apart from anyone who would potentially have a stake in this...
Gamecock43: I read your blog entry... "Wow" is all I can say in there were so many similarities to my own situation. I've never been a person to show my emotion on my sleeve and I'm deathly afraid of how friends and coworkers will perceive me following this mess. Thank you for the link...
