  Estate distribution in Bothell, WA.  We are used to seeing odd things in our line of work.  When we help people with estate distribution, we run into surprises on a regular basis.  One of our clients had “pet” mice that were allowed free run of the house.  One had a roof with such long-delayed maintenance that you could see blue sky through the ceiling.  And, once, we even found some very old marijuana with a well-used pipe from our client’s wayward youth!   But yesterday’s find shocked even our most seasoned veteran.  While Theresa was emptying some old books from a bookcase on its way to auction, she pulled out a red Stouffer’s frozen dinner box- “Escalloped Chicken & Noodles”.    A frozen food box in the bookcase doesn’t seem that weird.  People with early stage dementia do tend to... 03/14/2012
