More Ducks In The Row
	Dear Edith,I would like to add a few words to your advice to J.M., who was divorced years ago and is trying to get her(?) real estate affairs in order and her “ducks in a row.” The word "divorce" often raises a red flag. As a former legal assistant I have spent many hours calling all over the U.S., trying to track down people to clear up something that should have been taken care of years before. If J.M. is really concerned and can afford it, it might be worth making sure everything was done right at the time of the divorce and that the property came to her free of any encumbrances.It is much easier and less costly to do this while everyone involved is still alive and the lawyers still practicing.It can become complicated after people close an office, move away,or die

	Thanks for taking the time and trouble to write. (J. M. was a man, by the way.)
