"Lady J,
I assume she is contesting the will. I'm wondering though, why she gets away with postponements especially if she has done this on more than one occasion. Are you confident of the legal advice you are receiving? I mean, I'm not a…"

"A week or so before my DH died suddenly, my laptop kept crashing or freezing for no reason.
I've noticed since his death that it hasn't crashed any more. Was someone/thing trying to tell me something?"
