Iowa House Re Title At Death of Spouse

I've come across an Iowa situation and wondering if someone can shed some advice on this. Have a friend who's husband has just passed. They titled their house as "tenants in common" rather than "Joint with rights of survivorship". This was done in 2014 when they bought the house .... and it was titled that way because that's how things were done, I'm told.
Now that he's passed, she began work via an attorney on getting it put in her name. He tells her it's going to be a long and expensive process. His fee around $5K. Plus there will be court fees, etc. Will take 6 to 9 months.
He said awhile back state law changed and if your property is currently titled this way ... beginning in 2015 or later, you don't have to go through all this crap.
There's got to be a cheaper and faster way to get this into her name only. Help. Thanks!

Looking for some Alumni-frequented ISU bars in Chicago

Hey all. I’m looking for some bars in Chicago that are frequented by ISU alum. I know this has been discussed before here, but those last threads are pretty old and a lot has likely changed since then. I also know people will say Murphy’s Bleachers’, but that spot is really only frequented during games and otherwise caters to Cubs fans when there isn’t an ISU game going on.

I’m looking for places where I can regularly find other alumni on non-game weekends and are sort of like unofficial Cyclone bars of sorts. I specifically want to find one this summer since some friends I graduated with and currently live down the street from me are breaking their lease, so this might be our last summer to hang around ISU bars before they go their separate ways. If something like this exists, I’d love to hear it as well as any discussion of Iowa State’s presence in the various bars of Chicagoland these days.

Basketball telecasts

B12 is the best conference. 8 teams in the top 25. Why can’t Yormark get better TV coverage? Mediacom has 34 games today. 2 are B12. I am old school, but I gotta think there are still more traditional viewers than streamers. Most of the 34 games are crappy teams. Again, I am not going to hand more money to ESPN to build their empire.

Seeing a lot of whining on the ISR forum from our Hawk troll friends, so I figured it merited a scientific poll (to confirm what we've known since the Rose Bowl halftime show).

Feel free to post your favorite examples of Hawk oversensitivity.

Texas Longhorns - Airing of the Grievances

With our last scheduled football match up against the Longhorns approaching, I was chatting with a non-ISU friend about why XII and ISU folks dislike Texas so much. They asked, “well, what’ve they specifically done to make you hate them?”

A few things off top of my head:
- Backroom scheming to leave the XII
- Complaining about Horns Down & the conference making it a penalty
- numerous questionable officiating calls, namely Jeremiah George’s forward progress strip return

What else? Can be anything ISU or XII related

Interior Paint Recommendations

Wife and I bought our first home in April and have been getting stuff cleaned up for the past couple weeks. Soon, we'll be at the point where we can begin painting. We're looking at repainting almost the entire upstairs floor of our home ourselves and are going to be dedicating quite a few evenings/weekends to it during May.

I'm fully prepared to pay for quality paint as I know it's better in the long run to do fewer coats initially and have more durability so fewer touch-ups are required. Question is, which paint brands/styles offer great quality without immediately jumping into the grossly expensive stuff? We'll be needing quite a bit, so hoping to save at least a few bucks per gallon without sacrificing quality if possible.

Thanks!
