Think about how difficult it was to clean a house 100 years ago, or make a phone call, or travel across the country.

Hi Liz,
Several years ago in one of your columns on your msn website you gave some very interesting information on choosing a executor for one’s estate.

Don
I’ll add that to the to-do list. Thanks for the suggestion! There’s a good Nolo Press book for executors if you need something right away.
