We rehired the attorney after firing him, except now he will be paid on an hourly basis ($75/hr) as a consultant. Everything has gone well and now it's time to close the estate. This involves petitioning the court (in Cambria County, Pa.) to dismiss my wife as the executrix and close the estate. I have received several responses from people whose spouse's are attorneys. Can anyone recommend any publications/book on the subject? Has anyone done this before and can provide an example of how the wording should be? R. Nelson AT&T Bell Labs Reading, Pa. 1-215-929-6871
