Anniebach, my fingers and toes crossed for a fantastic outcome. But echo LJP1 be aware of swirling emotions and if this is a close relative or friend exercise a bit of caution. Being an eternal optimist and never seeing hidden depths in others not so open and trustworthy, I supported an older family friend who when her husband died was lonely and looked for long lost relations (she was abandoned as a baby) . I helped her track down a family she never thought she would have and we were all so delighted for her. Sadly it turned sour after she had treated the whole clan on numerous occasions, one particular couple - a niece and husband I think, asked for a large sum for an emergency. We suggested to keep it clear and above board it should be in an IOU. They cut off communications with her almost immediately after reluctantly signing and banking the money ( a great deal of her inheritance form her husband) and it ended up in the courts, a very bitter experience none of us ever got over. The betrayal and heartbreak was enormous. I sincerely hope this is not going to rain on your parade but please go slowly.
