Yesterday I received a notice in my mailbox from the mail carrier that there is a Registered Letter waiting for me at the post office. I could pick it up today after 1:00pm. I wondered for the rest of the day who could be sending me certified/registered mail. Turns out it was from my mother's lawyer. It contained a copy of her Last Will and Testament.
My mom has been gone for 4 years and I'm just getting this NOW? Talk about Snail Mail!

I hope it's pleasant news. My Mother passed last year. Before she passed, we found out about unclaimed property under my Mother's name. We went to pick it up at the State Department and signed a document stating that we'd pay taxes for it. It's interesting and a pleasant surprise to find unknown money for you.

Her house has been placed up for sale. My brother is the executor of her estate so I'll need to ask him what's going on. The profits of the sale are to be distributed equally among her children. I knew this was pending, I just didn't know when.

@Starmaiden and now you're going to save it the additional miles, the final leg of its journey, from the post office to your house.

@Starmaiden
I wonder why it took 4 years for them to get the will to you.

@Starmaiden
Do you have brothers and sisters or is the lawyer handling the whole thing?

Oh that is very strange because it took so many time to arrive for you. I'm sorry for your lost of your mom... hope everything is fine on that matter you mentioned though.
