If my ex-father-in-law just died and his lawyer asked for my daughter’s and mine birthdates and legal adress, why would they need this?
Why would they need it for either or both of us if her father is still alive and it was his father who died? We share custody of our daughter.

From what you have written with respect to the passing of your former father-in-law, for his attorney to seek your mailing address and your birthdates suggests that you both were named in a Will or trust of the gentleman who passed and your contact information is needed for written contact where a trust may be involved pending one or both of you reaching a certain age.
