IIRC, the 3 daughters had Bob declared deceased after California's 5 year waiting period.
Again IIRC, they did not include Mrs. Harrod in the legal action.
IIRC, Mrs. Harrod wisely (changed the locks and) remained in her marital home for several years. IIRC, aging has impacted Mrs. Harrod's health, and she now resides with her daughter near Kansas City.
I do not know if Mrs. Harrod benefited from her husband's estate or from the sale of her marital home
What I remember sounds very much like Elder Abuse.
I have great respect for Mrs. Harrod's dignity, and her choice to avoid making this bad situation worse.
Seems Bob's daughters didn't consider that...imho.
Where's Bob???
jmho ymmv lrr
