    Our daughter was killed 7-15-11 near Gettysburg, PA. She lived in Whitehall, MD in a one-bedroom rental house. She was mired in debt, recently had divorced and assumed her maiden name, had a house with her previous husband which had been forelosed upon and was deeply under water with the first and second mortgage. She died intestate, had very little money and very little in the way of valuable property. Most of what she had my wife and I actually owned, including her bedroom set. We had to clean out her rental place asap _ a difficult job. We rented a drug and hauled a bunch of boxes and virtually worthless stuff down to SC. We had to go through boxes and boxes of documents, paper work, memorabilia that she had saved. We sold nothing to anybody, because nothing was of any great valuable. Her clothing we gave to her friends. We spent thousands of dollars on her funeral, grave site, and headstone. She is buried near Gettysburg. My wife and I live a long way from MD, and my wife has many physical problems, including lupus, fatigue, back and knee problems, an acoustic neurom (tumor behind her ear) for which she received gamma knife radiation. We cannot be traipsing all over the country. We wil confer with our attorney, but we do not feel responsilbe for any of our daughte's debts, and most of what she had we had provided for her. Any personal property she had was not worth much, and it was a huge undertaking just to clean up the house in which she lived.
