[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our older parent passed away suddenly (they were quite self sufficient), but I hear you on the resentment, OP.

I was the one who did 95% of the house cleanout. One of my siblings never even visited the house (while still visiting the area a couple times a year), in the nearly 10 years we owned, emptied, renovated, rented, and eventually sold the house. I never got an extra cent from the estate. I don't know how people can't see outside of themselves. [/quote]

[b]If you are the executor you can pay yourself out of the estate for your time.[/b]  I know this because my mother has made me her executor and has told EVERYONE that my time will be compensated out of the estate.  I don't think my siblings would fight that, but I'm glad it's out there already.[/quote]

Absolutely this.  I'm sorry you didn't know this FP.  And for the PP, your mom is doing you a huge favor by telling everyone ahead of time.  There still may be recriminations but no one will ever be able to say that you took advantage of your mom or that you robbed the estate.[/quote]
