         (As you may know, [R's First Name] was a part of the Health and Retirement
         Study, an important study about issues of aging.)  About two years ago, after
         [R's First Name] (died/passed away), we spoke [with [Last Wave Proxy's First
         Name]] 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. [R's First Name]'s identity as a participant and any personally
         identifying information you provide will be kept confidential.
         
         We may report to state or local officials evidence of harm or abuse to any
         vulnerable person, but we will not ask you any questions about such topics.
         
         A Department of Health and Human Services Certificate of Confidentiality covers
         this research in order to help ensure [R's First Name]'s privacy. This
         certificate can help protect the investigators from being forced to release any
         research information that identifies [R's First Name].
