Thanks @TAB 🙏 

I'm okay, as is Hannah 🐕 

Been away all past week, as I had my Dad's funeral 😢.  It was a rushed nearly 7 hr drive to Southern Tablelands on 24th July when I got word that Dad was dying. I got there in time to say my goodbyes while he was still aware enough to know I was there. I spent the night in his room with him, and he passed away the next day.  

I spent a couple of days helping my brother plan the funeral, then drove back home for a week. Then drove back again for the funeral and stayed with my brother and his family on their farm.  I got home Thursday night. 

Unfortunately I didn't take Hannah as she gets car sick and it's just too far to be risking that. And for me, when driving long distances, I just want to get from A to B as quickly as possible with the least breaks. Pity, as she would have loved it on the farm.

She was a happy puppy to see me when I got back though. 💕  She is 9 months old now, growing up.

depends on other inheritance/getting back to work @Bill16  i mean 99% of time only me in car plus can cart stuff around for house

[Bill16]

How do you reckon the inheritance situation is going to go? @TAB 

[TAB]

well, still have 2 of original problems @Bill16  dont know how much estate is and dont know how many ways its getting divided.

my fathers share was going to be split 4 ways, but my siblings pulled out

he was one of 7 children so his share could be 1/7th

However , a few of them a rich and might have turned it down, so could be 1/4 even

then there's cousin who was first executor who drained around 1/4 of estate in fees  so she could be getting told by govt executor whos in charge now she has to pay 2/3rds of it back.

bare min I would get is $40k and could be double that or more
