Doh, that should have said Advice/Questions Thread.

Anyways, I just found out that my uncle passed away. He lived by himself, had a neighbor that would check in on him. He lived in a different state, me and my brothers are in other different states.

There will be lots of things to talk about and work out, the bank, home, etc. Is there a resource I can go to get advice on where to start with questions to the bank, attorneys, etc?

The personal finance subreddit might be able to help. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/

If he has land/property, maybe Real Estate? https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/

My condolences, anon. I had to deal with a similar issue when a relative passed away this summer. I hope this helps:

You're welcome. And honestly, even though it sounds nuts, Google anything you want to know about because lots of people have been in similar situations and you might be pleasantly surprised by how much info is out there. Your situation is different from mine, but one thing that caught me off guard was how much of a bureaucratic tangle was involved trying to arrange things like this from a distance.

Another piece of advice... don't be afraid to delegate. Hopefully you and your siblings can split up tasks and keep communicating with each other, which will help. If people ask what they can do to help (and they probably will), give them something to do even if it's a small task. Don't give anyone a crucial task unless you're certain they can and will handle it. Be prepared for people (even people you know and love) to flake or be weird, either because they don't know how to talk to you or how to behave, or because they're secretly crappy people deep down.

And don't let anyone give you shit about how you feel. Whatever you feel is the right thing to feel. However you choose to grieve (or not grieve) is the right way for you. Everyone else can mind their own business.
