[recycled sixtie]

Am just wondering if when the will is read of the wishes of the deceased, an option is given for either the lawyer to liquidate the estate or for the benificiary(ies)? This is what we were offered but of course I elected to have the lawyer wind up the estate. Do any benificiaries actually do the windup themselves? If so what paperwork does the investment co./bank need in addition to the death certificate. Just really curious!
