We have a fair number of estates for which the primary beneficiary is an elderly person who does not have much money. As far as the total percentage of the actual estates we handle, it may go upwards of 25, 30 or 40 per cent of the number of estates where that money would be paid to the surviving spouse who may be quite elderly. Under other circumstances, the funds would generally be paid to the children, since very often it is the parent whose spouse has already died. There would be a fair number for which we could reduce or waive the fees down to zero.
