Whether the attorney's concerns are completely valid or not is another question.

I want to say there is quite a bit to do as there are off gas from materials that have absorbed the chemicals in the creating process of drugs.

Plausible for me, too, as I spent about 7 years working offshore in oil and gas so a lot of what the phisherman was saying made sense to me.

As a native Texan, I'm worried about the micro-economies in some of these oil/gas heavy cities.

One is a 7unit (2b/1b) apartment house with a whole house gas boiler and the other is a small row house with stone foundation that seems damp.

@Pepper Bradford  You have some valid concerns. 

Look into contacting Yonah Weiss for the expertise needed for a valid an dependable study.

The whole point of probate is to marshal and sell the estate's assets... then at a later date after all valid creditor claims have been paid, distribute to heirs and close out.If Idaho has some different scheme, clue me in.The daughter should be advised to consult with a probate attorney, invest a few dollars in a title search, and then consider opening probate.

Run some real numbers and you'll realize that won't even pay your gas bill. 

You also will bear an additional maintenance expense for annual cleaning of the chimney and unit itself.If you have gas service on the street, you could use gas-fired "room furnaces" - I use them almost exclusively in my rentals.
