Jill has been at her parents' house, far away from her home, for many
months now. As far as I know, neither brother lives nearby. This is
something they need to settle ASAP regardless of grief issues so that
they can all go home soon after the funeral.

This isn't a case of everyone living in the same town where they grew
up. It's far-flung family members that have lost both parents in a
short time and need to pick up the pieces and move on. Grief will
always lurk; it won't go away if they manage to ignore it for a few days
while they take care of business.
