Thanks for all the suggestions. I am writing everything down and probably will go on Friday.

I know someone but he is on S.I. He charges only $75.00 for a will. I just used him. Not sure how much he would charge for just a question. You can call and ask. His name is Nicholas Montalto and he is in the West Brighton section, if you wanted to contact him.

Not sure that it is true that glossy cabinets are out out style but don't ever use milk paint on cabinets. I did and it was a disaster. It flakes off. I ruined my cabinets after spending over $500 to have most of it stripped. I still can't fix them with several coats of latex paint.

Any resolution?? I am itching for high-gloss red for the kitchen cabinets i inherited and no one I know in the business (I am not in it) can help me figure out how to do this... any insight? Thank you kindly in advance for any input.

There is Canadian Manufactuer that I have access to. They are a semi-custom frameless cabinet. I am a kitchen designer. The Canadians can finish cabinets like the Europeans. I'd be selling the boxes also, not the doors. If you send me a layout I'll price it up. My website is www.akwks.com

unless he was doing you a favor, you'd be better off going to "we the people" - odds are he has a form, plugged in your name and didn't spend more than 2 minutes thinking about you or your needs - that is just plain scary

1) I agree with jnjnjn2—first post is plain scary. 2) If your out-of-state friend is executor or trustee, has he run his questions past existing estate attorney? Alternatively, call the American Bar Association or NYC Bar and use their referral service: http://www.nycbar.org/LRS/index.htm

Estate Law varies slightly from state to state. Your friend should contact the bar association in their state and get some names. What is true under NY law may not be true under your friend's state's law.

I agree with HomeSweetStuy - head over to Bstuy and one of the shop owners along Fulton/Nordstrand will be more than willing to negotiate with you. Don't spend a lot on sweatshirts in this economy. Remember you will probably have to pay for extra luggage.......

Agree with bohuma that estate laws differ from state to state.

hi momo i'm a cabinet maker and this is what i do for a living and you don't want to use car paint on a kitchen cabinets. what you need to do is choose any white paint for cabinets and use high gloss conversion varnish for the finish. you should get what you want. good luck

the same goes to you caterinah you can get any color you want just make sure you use conversion varnish
