Thanks sillybone. I know about the notary, but the SD isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. But she is cunning and has ways of getting what she wants.

Forgive me for saying this, but it will make me feel better to tell someone. A few years back her mother passed suddenly. She hated her and wanted nothing to do with her. H and I paid for the ex's burial expenses because H didn't want her to go to a paupers grave as she was the mother of his children. BUT, the SD had no problems jumping on a jet to FL to check out what the Mother might have that was valuable!! That spoke volumes to me.
