i'm guessing i'm not the only person who's quietly offered to lend a
hand here, but let me be just slightly legalistic for a second.
before anyone actually helps out here, they should first require
legal documentation that shows that the person/people above have the
legal right to access that information -- salient excerpt of the will
identifying the executor, or something similar. i realize pointing
that out might sound somewhat heartless at the moment, but it's really
important to protect the legal rights of everyone involved.
