That's interesting - and helpful. I have "dealt with" a few Wills and in a couple of cases had included details of the Probate as an Event for the Testator because the Legacy-provided Sentence seemed to be written from that point of view. However, now that you say it I see that it makes entirely more sense to have a Probate Event only for the Executor(s). (Mind you, by your reasoning one should not attach an Obituary or Memorial Inscription Event to a deceased person, but to the person who wrote same!!!!) -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
