[quote=Anonymous]Executor/DD1 manages estate according to will. She calls the shots maybe with the advice of an attorney (one time session) and that fee is paid from assets. If she is maintaining home and land  (mortgage, utilities, repairs/reno) it can be deducted and paid back to her from overall assets until she legally owns the home and deed is in her name. She can also be paid for her time/work as executor.

She is right. Determine debt that must be paid. Beneficiaries typically agree that debt is paid from assets. Let her do her job, especially given the fact that she was MIL primary caregiver for years. If beneficiaries are balking and harassing executor, she can file a [i]nuisance beneficiaries[/i] complaint through probate court. Probate mostly sucks, but sounds like your DH and his tribe are going to make it very difficult for executor. Probate judge typically protects executor/successor trustee if they’re executing, accounting, and distributing assets according to will and within state laws. [/quote]
