Also small estates, we had over 529 small
|
|
3
|
estates last year. We will have this year over 1500. It
|
|
4
|
will be three tunes, maybe five times the amount because
|
|
5
|
of the Medicare and Social Security. Any checks under
|
|
6
|
Social Security, if a party dies, they have to take a
|
|
7
|
small estate out. Medicare works if the party is sick
|
|
8
|
and goes to a doctor, most doctors want to be paid, they
|
|
9
|
receipt the bill, the party sends it to the Medicare
|
|
10
|
office. During that time if he would pass, he or she would
|
|
11
|
pass away, they would have to take a stall estate out for
|
|
12
|
any amount that Medicare owed them. You can see the
|
|
13
|
small estate docket will be three to five times the amount
|
|
14
|
of work .
