HOLY BARN FIND!!!

Sorry but disagree on "shame on her"
Dad died at 69 years old and had ZERO interest in computers, so I would suspect she may have limited computer skills? And that's how 99% of research is done.
Spouses dont automatically know the value of their partners stash unfortunately.
In today's world shame on her if she didn't find someone to help her come up with a reasonable number. If she is incapable of doing the legwork someone who is responsible for her should have. It's that simple.....

I hope whatever transpired meant an agreed upon amount and then a check was wrote so she could move on. Nothing else makes sense. Everyone who has their hands in it will be in it for the money....
