Community Comes to Liam’s Aid

By Dale King

Five-year-old Liam cruz of west Boca Raton got a very special gift three days before christmas.

BYLINE HERE

in the lobby of the Florida Atlantic University police station, the youngster was reunited – at least temporarily – with his beloved golden retriever, Faith. the pet had just completed the first two weeks of training to be a service dog for Liam, who has Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, a rare, inherited disorder that causes significant medical challenges, including moderate to severe intellectual impairment and difficulties with muscle development and movement.

Actually, Liam wasn’t the only one to benefit from the dose of pre-Christmas community magic. the cruz family experienced the joy of knowing Faith can eventually be called on to raise a ruckus and bring attention to Liam if Liam Cruz he needs medical help. FAU’s K9 unit got a new dog, an 18-month-old Labrador retriever named Kona, to put into law enforcement duty on campus. An international dog instructor is training both animals at no charge to the cruz’s or to FAU PD. And Rocco mangel, owner of the Rocco’s tacos & tequila Bar restaurant chain, got the satisfaction of knowing he helped pull the deal together. “when i arrived here 20 years ago, i promised that if I was successful in the business, I would give back to the community.” mangel has done it many times during the past couple of decades, and assisting the cruz family was his latest effort.

the fundraising event, he would also train Faith at no charge.” normally, that type of dog training costs $15,000 to $20,000.

From left, Liam Cruz, his mother, sister Cassi and Rocco Mangel of Rocco’s Tacos greet Faith in the FAU police station lobby. (Photo courtesy of FAU)

then, a customer at one of his restaurants offered to purchase a piece of wall art for $5,000. mangel used the money to acquire Kona – and everything else just fell into place.

“Kona is being taught to be a narcotics detection dog,” said sgt. gary grande, a trainer with the FAU Police K9 unit. “Bob Anderson is the primary trainer.” the sergeant said that when Faith is up to speed, she will bark, claw and fuss to summon a caregiver should Liam show signs of distress – particularly with breathing. Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome tends to cause respiratory distress.

Liam’s mom, nicole Bolufe-cruz, said she found Rocco’s website and saw that he has helped many causes. “As a last resort, i called and met with him at his West Palm Beach office.” She needed the money to train Faith as a service dog.

Just recently, Liam spent eight days in the hospital for treatment of the rare disorder that has only been diagnosed in about 80 children. mom spent most of her time with him. “He couldn’t keep food down for three or four days, so he lost a lot of weight,” she said.

“I have a huge network on Facebook and I get a lot of requests for help,” mangel said. “i very rarely donate cash.” But when he read a Facebook note from Nicole asking for assistance, he was touched. “i’ve saved a lot of dogs,” he said. “nicole’s story got to me.”

still, Liam’s “spirit is always good.” He attends kindergarten at J.C. Mitchell Elementary School, a facility that can accommodate him and his feeding tube. Faith is away completing her training so that when she comes home, she will be specifically attuned to Liam’s needs.

She and Mangel met and worked out a fundraising plan. But before it could be held, two serendipitous things happened. “I spoke to my friend, Bob Anderson, who runs the international K9 college in Palm Beach gardens who had trained my dog. He said if i gave him a dog for the FAU K9 unit through

Even before her service dog instruction, Faith showed an awareness of Liam’s condition. “i’m usually a light sleeper,” nicole recalled. “But one night, I was sick and had taken medication, so I slept more soundly. I keep a baby monitor near my head. I woke up that night when I heard Faith’s

paws clattering on the floor. When I fully awoke, I could hear Liam gasping for air. Faith alerted me.” wheelchair-bound Liam “needs care around the clock,” said Sgt. Grande, who has launched a campaign to get a handicapped ramp for the cruz home as well as a van with a wheelchair ramp attached. “one day during training, we saw how much trouble nicole had getting Liam and the wheelchair out of the car. she needs a wheelchair van badly. the family is paying a lot in medical expenses. Liam is in and out of the hospital.”

Nicole said she also has back pain, which makes it even more difficult to get Liam and the wheelchair out of their sUV. Though he is unable to speak, Liam does communicate with sounds and “is aware of a lot of things. He is able to say, “i wuv wow-wow” when he sees his faithful pet.

He loves music and is a drummer, said mom.

Liam’s dad, will, says the boy “greets everyone with a warm smile and offers a hug and/or a kiss to let you know that you have a friend in him forever.” older sister, cassi, who turned 18 on Jan. 24, is taking Faith’s training seriously. Mom said the teen has been Bob Anderson’s apprentice, and is also a member of the Boca Raton Police Explorers. she hopes to become certified in police dog training, and wants to be a K9 cop herself.

MEN’S CUT & STYLE

VALENTINE’S DAY AND ENGAGEMENT RINGS

25

$

Februar y is of ten considered a month of love bec ause Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th. that is the day when many c ouples are engaged to marr y, of ten symbolized by the presentation of an engagement ring. no mat ter the size or value of the engagement ring, it is an impor tant symbol of love bet ween the par ties. it can also be the most expensive piece of tangible personal proper t y a couple might own. Unfor tunately, many marriages do not last. in fact, many engagements do not result in weddings as many engagements are broken of f. this raises the question, “ who gets the ring? ” when the marriage terminates or if a marriage never occurs.

FIRST TIMERS ONLY

the law in this area is ver y state and fact specif ic. some states base their law under a contract theor y, requiring c onsideration on the par t of the receiving par t y. other states utilize a c onditional gif t theor y, wherein the recipient is required to fulf il the terms necessar y to c omplete the gif t.

For marriages that occur, states are generally uniform in f inding that the recipient of the engagement ring is entitled to keep it. this result follows because the contract terms or the gif t requirements have all been met. nonetheless, in the event of marital dissolution, it is impor tant to review state specif ic rules with respect to division of proper t y and the marital estate.

But what about requiring a recipient to return an engagement ring when marriage never occurs? Here too, the states are split on the adoption of the c onditional gif t or c ontract theories. Florida has adopted the c onditional gif t theor y in the f irst impor tant c ase c overing this circumstance, g ill v shively, decided in 1975. Here the cour t held that a donor may rec over an engagement ring if the engagement was terminated by the donee or by mutual consent of the par ties. the rationale is that in these circumstances, there was an implied condition that a marriage be c onsummated with such c ondition not having been satisf ied. while one c ould argue, that this simple, easy to understand rule makes sense, it may prove troublesome if one enters into the engagement with a sinister intent to c ause the f iancé to engage in a more intimate relationship, and the donee c alls of f the engagement for a seemingly good reason.

FEBRUARY 2017

But for now, the general rule in Florida is that the ring is returned to the donor, unless that par t y terminated the engagement or other wise acted in a fraudulent manner.

During this month of love, let ’s all hope for good things for ourselves and our families. Let ’s also send best wishes to those who choose Valentine’s Day for their engagement with hopes that they marr y and build successful futures together.

My view from the City Council

KNEE PAIN

BY RoBeRt S. WeinRoth

HURTING YOUR GAME?

Have you heard the one about the rude resident of Boca Raton? Well, I’m here to say Boca Raton is getting a bad rep! are there people out there you’d rather avoid because of their temperament? i’m sure. but, is there an epidemic of selfabsorbed, rude people living in our city? absolutely not! a group of our residents have even taken it upon themselves to change the narrative with a campaign called “boca nice.” but, besides wearing 3,000 pins and counting, declaring that boca raton residents should not be saddled with the reputation of rudeness, one need only see, on a day to day basis, the number of our residents who give their time, treasure and support to the many worthy non-profits within our community. and, while the amazing philanthropy of people like christine e Lynn, barb & Dick schmidt, bernie & billie Marcus, Phyllis & Harvey sandler, carole & richard siemens and an abundant list of additional generous residents have helped to create an infrastructure of world class institutions (Fau, Lynn university, boca regional Hospital, etc), many more of our residents make smaller (but no less meaningful) monetary contributions coupled with hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to allow the non-profit organizations to fulfill their missions. as a member of the boca raton city council, i, like the mayor and my fellow council members, attend events designed to raise awareness and funding for a cornucopia of worthy causes.

Most of these are focused on health, education, art, culture, environment and family issues. it is so wonderful to see the number of people who take time away from what could be periods of leisure to step up and support causes they find meaningful. www.bocasbestMagazine.coM

one cannot speak about service to the community without recognizing the ongoing efforts of many organizations whose mission is giving back. be it the Junior League of boca raton, the elks, the Kiwanis, the Friends of the Library, the Friends of Gumbo Limbo, five different rotary clubs and many, many others, it should be clear that rather than being viewed as the rudest city, boca raton should be recognized as the givingest. when Mark Larkin joined the boca raton Hospital Foundation as its president he soon recognized he wasn’t in st. cloud anymore. as he explained to me, our community generates more philanthropy in one year than most communities generated in a decade! returning to boca nice, this grassroots organization is redefining Boca Raton as one of the nicest places to live, study, work, worship and play. our reputation as one of the rudest places in the united states is really a cheap shot. and while there is an abundance of affluence, a large segment of our population is vulnerable and dependent on services provided by our safety net of non-profits.

Hopefully you will join many of your neighbors in lending a hand to both change the impression of our city (offer helping hand or a smile to a visitor in need) and support an organization whose mission resonates with you. we have much to be grateful for (including being able to live in this slice of paradise).

Pediatric Associates Adds Pediatric Endocrinologist Sissi Cossio, M.D. to Growing Specialty Division

BYLINE HERE

P

ediatric Associates is proud to announce that Board-Certified Pediatric Endocrinologist sissi cossio, m.D., FAAP, has recently merged her practice with Pediatric Associates. As a pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. cossio will provide care to Pediatric Associates’ patients dealing with diabetes, thyroid disorders, pubertal and growth pathologies, obesity and other hormonal disorders.

“Unfortunately, there is a disproportionate number of pediatric endocrinologists compared to the number of children being diagnosed with diabetes, thyroid conditions and other endocrine disorders each year,” said Dr. cossio. “the healthcare professionals at Pediatric Associates recognized this need and i am honored to be a part of their current expansion into pediatric specialties.”

Dr. cossio attended the Universidad nacional Federico Villarreal for medical school in her native Peru before completing her residency and fellowship at Jackson memorial Hospital/University of miami.

“Pediatric Associates is ecstatic that Dr. cossio is joining our growing team of specialty physicians,” said Pediatric Associates cEo Peter J. shulman, m.D., FAAP, mBA. “she joins us at a time when childhood obesity rates and hormonal disorders are on the rise. Dr. cossio brings extensive pediatric endocrinology experience with her and will greatly enhance our comprehensive approach to pediatric healthcare.”

Dr. cossio joins several pediatric specialists, including an allergist, hospitalists and rheumatologists, who provide care for all of Pediatric Associates’ south Florida patients. According to Dr. shulman, Pediatric Associates hopes to add several more specialists in 2017.

Pediatric Associates is Florida’s largest privately owned primary care pediatric practice, with more than 250 physicians and advanced practice practitioners and 32 convenient locations extending from Jacksonville to Miami. Our facilities offer families comprehensive services, including X-ray and state certified laboratories. We are open 365 days a year with weekend, evening and holiday hours for your convenience. Our mission is to enhance the lives of all children and their families by delivering the highest quality pediatric healthcare in a compassionate and healthy environment.

Sergio Mendes.

Back for another year, the Henry mancini institute orchestra will provide live background music for Blake Edward’s classic, 1964 comedy, “the Pink Panther.”

Kaye said the grammy-winning soundtrack, including the well-known, saxophone-driven, Pink Panther theme, will be performed by on-stage musicians. As a tie-in to the composer, Henry mancini’s daughter, monica, will sing one of the songs in a party scene.

Boca’s presentation of “The Pink Panther” will be the first showing of the film with a live music performance, said Kaye. Last year, the mancini orchestra performed the soundtrack to “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” the year before, the score was played live by on-stage players for the musical film, “West Side Story.” “the Author & ideas portion of the festival is again extremely varied, exploring areas of politics, the arts and science and fiction,” said Siemon. It welcomes Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “A Visit from the goon squad” and Bob mankoff, cartoon editor for the new Yorker, who will discuss his ideas and familiar cartoons from the pages of the well-known publication.

the “diverse and exciting line-up” at the 11th annual festival will be bookended by grammy Award-winning musicians Branford marsalis and sergio mendes. Joey Alexander, the 13-year old indonesian jazz piano prodigy who wowed Festival-goers last season, returns in a double bill with 13-year old mexican classical pianist Daniela Liebman.

Renowned violinist sarah chung and keyboard wunderkind Daniel Hsu will join with the symphonia, Boca Raton, and maestro constantine Kitsopoulos, on a different date. “we are so excited to present the 2017 Festival of the Arts BocA and we think the audience will be too,” said charlie siemon, co-founder and co-producer. “we have stars from all over the world, from Brazil to indonesia to mexico and the United states, and famous music from the most beloved films and opera, by the world’s greatest composers.

5 Tips to Tackle a Tasty Game Day Menu (Family Features) Just like your favorite sports team, hosting a winning big-game party or tailgate takes planning, preparation and teamwork. to make your festivities fun-filled, remember these entertaining tips that are sure to score big with your fans. scatter the refreshments. Help direct movement and traffic flow by setting up food stations. Using different rooms or areas helps prevent congestion and encourages guests to mingle. Try placing finger foods and other appetizers in a couple of locations, beverages in another area and desserts in yet another space.

Embrace variety. take into account taste preferences and dietary needs, and have an assortment of food and drinks available. offer spicy options along with less seasoned dishes, both indulgent and better-foryou treats, plus an array of beverages for drinkers and non-drinkers alike.

Build your roster. if your party is a potluck, encourage guests to sign up for dishes so you don’t end up with multiple versions of the same thing. create a discussion group online, or simply ask guests to indicate what they’ll bring along with their RsVP. Don’t forget the dips. wings are a tailgating staple, and dips are a great way to complement those zesty flavors or cool the heat, but you may find yourself in

Both pair well with a range of wing flavors, so these dips are sure to be crowd pleasers. the delicious combination of fresh herb and vegetable flavors make Litehouse Homestyle Ranch a perfect party choice, and Litehouse chunky Bleu cheese features fresh buttermilk, homemade mayonnaise and a blend of spices as the backdrop for award-winning artisan blue cheese chunks that will make your fellow sports fans cheer for more.

FAMILY FEATURES

Students Prosper from STEM Education (Family Features) Education is particularly critical for today’s students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, as the number of jobs with an emphasis in stEm is expected to grow significantly over the next 10 years, according to the national science and Math Initiative. with the right funding, schools across the country are putting an emphasis on stEm education and looking for new ways to make a difference in the lives of their students and their communities. For Rochelle middle school in Rochelle, illinois, a $25,000 grant from the America’s Farmers grow Rural Education program, sponsored by the monsanto Fund, enabled the school to enhance its science curriculum by exposing students to stEmrelated career opportunities and preparing students for the workforce. the program included the purchase of a 3D printer to introduce students to the technology and bring their designs and ideas to life. shortly after the program began, the students learned about a local farmer who lost his arm in an accident while working in the field and they began working on a program to use the 3D printer to build a fullyfunctioning prosthesis for him.

26

FEBRUARY 2017

since starting the program, Rochelle middle School’s parents and teachers have noticed a change in students, as they seem more engaged and excited to learn. Many even stay after school for an independent study course with their science teacher.

other Americas Farmers grow Rural Education grants have helped schools expand their science curriculum by building greenhouses, continuing a remoteoperated-vehicle science program, developing a livestock learning laboratory on a high school campus and others.

“STEM education is a vital foundation for the future of students and communities,” said Al mitchell, monsanto Fund president. “with the support of local farmers, we are proud to provide resources to engage and excite students in their stEm educations, and help them understand practical applications of their studies.”

“the grant helped enhance our stEm offering to students and show them what their futures could hold,” said Vic worthington, Rochelle middle school science instructor. “in middle school, it’s easy for these students to go to school each day, but not understand the full picture of possibilities of their futures. through this program, schools are able to put possibilities in front of students they couldn’t have previously dreamed of.” the grow Rural Education program is seeking nominations from farmers through April 1, 2017, to help provide rural public schools with funding for stEm projects. since the program began partnering with farmers in 2011, more than $11 million has been awarded to help rural schools in need. to learn more about the program or how farmers can nominate a school near them, visit GrowRuralEducation.com.

Tips for new puppy parents on transition, toys, food and more

Your Source For The Pampered Pet!

(Family Features) Nothing is more heartwarming than the first warm nuzzle from a new puppy. With new pets, however, come new responsibilities and opportunities, which can often lead to New Year’s resolutions involving new furry friends.

Find a Veterinarian

A veterinarian should be your first call if your puppy gets into something that could potentially harm him or her.

Vets are also great resources to keep you up-to-date on puppy care, like vaccination timing. Use a tool like the free askPETMD app, available in the Apple App and Google Play stores, to find a veterinarian near you.

ID Your Pet

While pets are getting acclimated to their home, and with people going in and out, it can be easy for them to slip out a door. Be prepared in case they embark on an unplanned journey around the neighborhood. To ensure you are reunited, outfit your pup with proper ID, including a personalized ID tag.

Pup-Proof Your Home

Dogs love to chew, whether it’s on shoes or something more dangerous like wiring or extension cords. To protect them and promote positive chewing experiences, use toys or treats to occupy their time and allow them to chew safely, such as a Puppy Bone Starter Toy Kit. It’s also important to place household products like trash, laundry detergent and cleaning supplies out your pup’s reach.

(Grooming Excluded)

Give Puppies Their Own Space

Also Availbale Mobile Grooming

According to a survey commissioned by PetSmart and conducted by Wakefield Research, 47 percent of U.S. dog owners let their puppy sleep in bed with them seven nights per week. However, when it’s time for puppies to rest on their own, a puppy crate can perform double duty, providing puppies their own area away from stressors to nap and serving as a structure that promotes potty training.

Research Nutrition

It may be tempting to feed a puppy human food, but they require specially formulated food and often have different eating schedules than an adult dog.

Do your research, read labels and ask questions. Consider leading natural pet lifestyle brands, like Only Natural Pet, which offer formulas such as Puppy Power Feast food, as well as a variety of treats.

Invest in Training

Consistent training is an important responsibility of a puppy parent.

Dogs crave love and praise, and a properly trained pooch will better understand what’s expected of him or her. If necessary, get help from puppy training experts to help ensure all family members are able to live happily in one harmonious pack.

How to stay on budget when choosing custom window treatments

W

hen most homeowners hear the word custom, they immediately picture large dollars signs. but choosing a custom solution for your decorating project doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll blow the budget.

solution for your home, however, it could also make it hard to say no to all the high-end features that can drive up the cost. For those on a budget, focus on the features that provide the most benefit for your lifestyle.

as a conscientious design professional, i respect the budget of all my clients and always do my best to provide homeowners with the value, service, and quality that justifies the expense. Here are five ways to keep a custom window treatment solution from breaking the bank.

For example, if your window treatments are purely aesthetic, then invest in a luxury fabric and skip on upgrading the operating system. or if child safety is your primary concern, choose a beautiful, yet practical fabric in order to invest in a high-tech cordless operating system like PowerView™ Motorization from Hunter Douglas.

Work with a professional

Prioritize energy efficiency

By working with someone who specializes in window treatments, you’ll immediately know what design options are possible for your windows and budget. Plus, your designer will know all the nuances that are involved with installing blinds or shades, helping you avoid a costly window treatment Diy fail. and after 40 years in the industry, i have definitely seen my fair share of DIY window treatments gone wrong.

window treatments designed to increase energy efficiency will help reduce energy loss at the window by as much as 50 percent. this reduction in energy costs will help offset your new purchase, providing an immediate return on your investment.

Take advantage of special offers Many top brands, like Hunter Douglas, offer regular promotions on bestselling products throughout the year, making it much easier to stick to your budget. No interest financing is another great way to purchase custom window treatments, allowing you to pay off your purchase in smaller payments over time. this way you can enjoy your new blinds, shades or shutters right away, without the immediate drain on your wallet.

Invest in the right features when you select a custom solution over an off-the-shelf product, you’ll have access to infinitely more design options to choose from. More choice means you’re more likely to find the perfect www.bocasbestMagazine.coM

Don’t forget the warranty if you choose a window treatment brand that offers a lifetime guarantee, like Hunter Douglas, you can feel confident that your new custom window treatments will be protected for the life of the product, saving you money in the long run when cheaper alternatives wear and need to be replaced after just a short time. when properly cared for, a quality custom solution should last at least a decade.

Lee “Sonny” Tannenbaum is a Hunter Douglas-certified Decorview designer with 40 years in the window coverings industry. He helps homeowners in Boca Raton choose the perfect window treatments to match their style and budget.

Woman abducted, held captive for decade To speak at ‘Heart of a Woman’ luncheon

BY DaLE KINg

A

young woman abducted and held captive

raped and starved by their captor, will speak to attendees at the 10th Annual Heart of a woman Luncheon on tuesday, Feb. 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Boca Raton Resort & club.

Knight and DeJesus, were also rescued. the women’s harrowing ordeal brought national attention to their plight and also to the dilemma of women living in abusive situations.

michelle Knight, who has changed her name to Lily Rose Lee, was the first of three captured by notorious kidnapper Ariel castro, who later seized Amanda Berry and gina DeJesus. All were held against their will in castro’s home until they escaped in 2013.

As a result of the sexual abuse Knight suffered, she reportedly became pregnant five times, but miscarried each time after being starved and beaten by castro.

sponsored by AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse), the Heart of a woman Luncheon will celebrate the strength, courage and determination of women, especially those who have overcome abuse. Lee will recount the story of her years in captivity, her escape and the powerful inner strength and capacity for hope that has helped her rebuild her life.

when he left his house on may 6, 2013, Berry managed to reach the front door and scream for help, getting the attention of a neighbor. After Berry escaped, she called 911. the authorities who arrived soon rescued Knight and DeJesus.

Cleveland abductee Michelle Knight, who has changed her name to Lily Rose Lee, will speak at AVDA’s Heart of a Woman Luncheon Feb. 21.

Event chairs are Jeanette Deorchis, Anne Vegso, Rosemary Krieger and gail Veros, who are joined by committee members tami Babij, Dorothy macDiarmid and Beth miller.

stated, “i’ve got my life back. i spent 11 years in hell. now your hell is just beginning.” castro hanged himself in prison on sept. 3, 2013.

AVDA, one of 42 certified domestic violence centers in Florida, began serving clients in 1986. it started by providing an emergency shelter, added an outreach program in 2000 and opened a newly built transitional house in 2005.

in november 2013, Knight spoke to television host Dr. Phil mcgraw about her ordeal. in may 2014, she wrote “Finding me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed: A memoir of the cleveland Kidnappings.”

in 2014, AVDA demolished its original shelter to rebuild a new facility that substantially increased its capacity. on June 30, 2015, AVDA opened the doors of its new emergency shelter to residents. this state-of-the-art building has added 22 beds, and has allowed AVDA to increase the number of individuals served by 44 percent. michelle Knight, then 21, was kidnapped in 2002 by castro, held captive and sexually abused for more than a decade. He later kidnapped Berry and DeJesus.

Berry managed to escape in may of 2013, and

LEGALLY SPEAKING

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

What Happens When a Loved One Passes Away?

T

he f irst thing you need to do is grieve. we live in a societ y where ever y thing has to happen now. However, grieving is a process, and it is necessar y for that process to star t. you do not have to rush to talk to an at torney. taking a few weeks to mourn and get yourself back on your feet are more impor tant than going to an at torney immediately to f ind out what needs to be done. there are always bills to pay, monies to c ollect, and assets to locate. these responsibilities c an be done while grieving. nex t, Florida requires that an original will be turned in to the proper cour t within 10 days of the person’s death. if it does not occur during that period, relax, it can be done as soon as you c an.

However, an estate should be opened within a few months of a person dying, if it is necessar y.

in Florida, there are t wo primar y t ypes of estates. the f irst one is a summar y administration that is used when a person has been deceased for longer than t wo years, or the value of the estate is below $75,0 0 0.0 0. if the deceased’s estate does not meet the above requirements, then the second t ype of estate is a Formal administration.

Formal Administration is summarized in a nutshell, as follows: 1.

File the appropriate paper work (original will and Death cer tif icate) in the appropriate venue;

2.

appoint the proper Personal representative;

3.

ser ve notice on all benef iciaries and family members of the administration;

4.

notif y all known creditors by a publication of notice of creditors or directly;

5.

gather the assets and f ile an inventor y;

6.

Pay the taxes and any other debts;

7.

Deal with any problems in the estate;

8.

Keep interested par ties informed throughout the process and do an acc ounting; and

9.

Distribute the proper t y and discharge the estate.
