Wrong account, but: I've been wanting Alice to look into what actually happened with her parents' estate -- the house burned, but there had to have been some mementos left, which were presumably sold off in order to pay for her care at the asylum. Which is probably way off, historically, but I don't know what the accurate response there is, and I've tried digging a little with no luck so far.

The point is, if anyone has any idea (OOC on the details, or IC of how to make it happen, or IC of someone whose character could help?) -- then I beg for your assistance and offer cookies.

That sounds like something that God might instruct Joan to help with, so I'd be willing to bat around some ideas with you :D

Regarding how it could start: Perhaps a letter from a lawyer finally finds its way from her place to Fandom? Or a bill from the asylum accidentally comes to her rather than the lawyers?

Wrong account, but I guarantee you Jack knows Victorian inheritance law. Getting them to have the conversation might be a little trickier.

Theoretically (with my admittedly less than cohesive knowledge which is supplemented a good deal by Bleak House), whatever remained of Alice's parents' estate would have been held in trust for Alice at her majority. I think what's going to skew her experience with finding it the most is WHO is the administrator of the estate. Because given Alice's insanity and minority, the administrator would probably have a lot of leeway to do what he wanted with it if he didn't want to hold it so much as use it.

So that might be the first thing to determine and then go from there. I think Alice would need to have someone declare her sane in order to inherit anything more than personal mementos.

...I'm really trying to resist getting in my car to go to the damn law library right now. :D
