Estate

- Emailed American Express to find out how one liquidates someone else's traveler's cheques.
- Phoned TIAA to request packet for closure of pension (and insurance?).

The answer turns out to be: bring the cheques, a copy of the death certificate, and a copy of the form from the probate court certifying me as executrix, to the bank where the estate account is held. Remind the bank that they need to call American Express for an approval code. Sign and deposit.
