The CEO of the company where I just resigned wants to buy my shares at $132k; a stockholder wants to purchase them at $200k. Am I obliged to sell it to the company, or can I sell it to the highest buyer?

Now, if... View More

There are IRS Annuity LE/REM Valuation Tables in the Treasury Regulations, which are easy to apply.

Call the Probate Court where the Will was filed for a copy. If not probated it had no effect. Hire a PR attorney to get a copy of a PR Deed.
