Since this was bumped, I want to follow up on my post from January.
GMIL did pass away back in early April, just before the start of Passover. She had surgery in February and spent the next few weeks after that bouncing from hospital to hospice and back to hospital, while getting physically weaker and weaker, until her body just gave out. She was 95.
Passover with the in-laws therefore didn't happen. DH and I had a quiet first seder at home and visited friends for the second seder. GMIL's funeral was a couple of days later (a funeral cannot be held on a holy day). We joined MIL and FIL while they sat shiva in New York. Surprisingly, this wasn't as unpleasant as I'd feared.
MIL is the executrix of her mother's will. Her brother is zero help - he just wants his share of the estate NOW NOW NOW. So, needless to say, she is a basket case. She can and will flip out at the least little thing at the best of times, and it's far from the best of times - so I'm letting DH handle the lion's share of inter-family communications.
