[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 59582, member: 3211"] Tough call, to say the least. If this were my situation, I would probably give out the P.O. box - I can't really think of a way that he could get any more information after that, although with computer technology, there might be a way. I work for an attorney - we hardly ever have the addresses of the people who are left bequests in wills, although some sort of contact information is ideal so you could be easily reached when and if something were to happen and an estate proceeding would be opened. witzend is right - it would be up to the executor to find you and make sure you received your (or your girls') share in the estate - but if his wife is the executor and she is a Mexican citizen, it may be tough for her to find you. If he is serious about wanting to leave your girls a gift in his will, ask him for the attorney's information - firm name, address and phone number. That way, you would be able to contact them personally in the future. They would probably hold the original documents - that's what we do 90% of the time unless the writer of the Will insists on taking the original. This is info for the logical, practical side of things. As for the emotional side of this whole issue for you, I'm afraid I don't have any answers, but I wish I did. Sending you good thoughts.
