Seeking advice on how best to manage the estate of my husband who passed away. Summary - together for 20 years. He had 2 older kids (now 35 and 40) and we had 2 bio children together (BD 19 and BS 24). When we became a couple the main asset he had was some family property which was since sold and he received funds from the sale of these properties. Together we owned a house, an income property (which was our previous home) and a cottage (with a mortgage).
