[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9022228, member: 8461"] I'd have posted these updates sooner, but for some reason the Wisconsin court website seemed to be down every time I tried to access it. Fortunately, whatever was going on seems to have been resolved. That said, while there's been a bunch of activity since the trial, virtually none of it seems to be particularly noteworthy: [LIST] [*]On April 20th, the last day of the trial, there's a note in the docket that simply reads "Exhibit list." Presumably this was the list which was submitted to the court. [*]Also on that same day, there's a notice saying "will added to probate" with a notation which reads "Original will filed dated July 11, 2006; four (4) pages." I don't know if this is the will that Gail was using up until the suit was filed, or if it's the newer one that Gary made before his death (as the date listed is less than two years prior to his passing). [*]Several entries are listed for April 26th: a letter to the court re: order, a proposed order (which is presumably what the aforementioned letter is about), a proposed notice to creditors (with no mention of who those creditors are), a form in which attorney Steven Koch agrees to serve as the estate's personal representative (I'm not sure if this was a prior letter he signed in that regard, or a new one), and proposed domiciliary letters being issued (i.e. the writ which states that someone can act as the personal representative for an estate). [*]April 27th saw the domiciliary letters actually being issued to attorney Koch, as well as the notice to creditors being issued; this latter notice states that there's an August 31st, 2023 deadline to file claims. [*]Finally, May 5th saw several affidavits of service being issued. All of these were with regard to the trial, and their entry seems (to me) to be somewhat after-the fact; there's one for a trial subpoena that was issued, one for a subpoena duces tecum (i.e. a writ ordering a person to appear in court and to bring any relevant documents) and witness fee check, [i]another[/i] subpoena duces tecum (with a court date of April 19th, 2023 at 8:30 AM) and witness fee check, and a trial subpoena for April 20th, 2023 at 8:30 AM and witness fee check. [*]I'll note that, in addition to noting the aforementioned August 31st deadline for creditors to file claims, the "court activities" header on the docket now also lists an "inventory due date" of July 26th of this year. [/LIST] All in all, it seems that the trial wasn't [i]quite[/i] the end, so there's apparently at least a few more months before things hopefully reach a (just) conclusion! [/QUOTE]
