         Study, an important study about issues of aging.) About two years ago, after 
         [R's FIRST NAME]  died, we spoke with [you/NAME OF EXIT INTERVIEW PROXY] about
         [R's FIRST NAME]'s death and the health conditions surrounding [his/her] death.
         At that time, final settlement of the estate had not taken place, and we would
         like to ask a few questions now about the final estate settlement.
         
         This interview is completely voluntary. If we should come to any question that
         you don't want to answer, just let me know and I will go on to the next
         question. The answers you give will be kept confidential.
         
         We are required to report to State officials credible evidence of serious harm
         or abuse to any person, but we will not ask you any questions about such topics.
