[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sister is being very manipulative. She wants to keep the house so she keeps trying to take funds from her siblings to make sure that happens. Your husband was correct to tell her that she can’t take the life insurance payouts left to her siblings to cover estate debts. By asking her siblings to privately give their share of life insurance payments to pay estate debts she trying to manipulate her siblings into paying the debts so she keeps the house. [/quote]
Yup.  This is bizarre.  This is a matter of adding up total estate (non-beneficiary designated) assets and subtracting liabilities.  It sounds like DD1 was well aware of some of the debts that her mother owed.  If her mother wanted the debts to be paid by the share going to the other siblings (rather than coming out of the house), she would have stated so in the will.  DD1 should have planned better for herself if she wanted to live in the house after her mother's passing, knowing that her mother had debts.  The siblings cannot be compelled to pay DD1 to help her keep the house.[/quote]
