<prompt> Human: Dear PF,Lets pretend your uncle passed away, making you executor of his estate. Little did you know, uncle was loaded. Youre going to have to distribute his estate per his will.He happens to have an investment account worth a couple million. The lawyer has advised you to sell all of the stocks because sitting in cash is safer than getting sued by the heirs for losing uncles money.So, now that you have a couple of million in cash, with a probate process that will take from 3-12 months, is there anywhere you would put it so it wont lose so much to inflation? principal risk should be minimized.Thanks!  <response>: Listen to the lawyer.
