** She had ''not'' accepted that her father was dead. She thought he might still be alive somehow, and she went to the island in hopes of finding him. Of course that still leaves us with the question of why she didn't just sign the form declaring his death and then go look for him anyway, but I suppose that's just a point of pride for her. She won't sign the form if she doesn't believe it.

** The idea isn't that Lara made a fatal mistake by giving Ana control; Ana was ''already'' in control. That's how she was able to fund Trinity in the first place. The idea is simply that now Lara is ''aware'' of what Ana's been up to, because she happened to look over the books after she signed the death declaration. In theory she could fire Ana immediately, but I think the idea is that Ana has been at this for so long that she'd probably have some ace up her sleeve, some complicated legal claim that Lara wouldn't necessarily know how to handle. The writers were probably leaving it vague because they weren't sure exactly where this would go in the sequel.

** Maybe Trinity wasn't sure whether the island actually had anything important on it, and they didn't want to waste resources on something that might not pay off. Plus it could be a punishment for Mathias. He was supposed to find the tomb within 6 months or whatever, and when he failed they just said "You don't get to leave till you finish the job."

** Removing Ana as Lara's attorney (and presumably CEO and director of Croft Holdings and a bunch of key subsidiaries, and possibly a trustee of the Croft Family Trust(s)) would take time, which would in turn give Trinity time to arrange a fatal accident for Lara, or even merely one that leaves Lara incapacitated, and Ana in control.

** Firearms are exceptionally loud, and firing an AK47 or M4 at all would give her position away instantly. Also keep in mind that this Lara has not had ample time to train with firearms yet, but has plenty of practice with a bow. As for why this is the case, just remember that in the UK, there are very strict rules on firearms, and even for someone who's wealthy, getting a firearm without a clear need for one, is not an easy task.
