With a properly named beneficiary, the death proceeds of an annuity are outside of the estate and transfer directly to the heirs avoiding probate.
They are not responsible to the other beneficiaries, they are responsible to the estate. It is up to the executor to make sure things are done fairly.
You have a very good question. If you are the cash beneficiary of the estate and the other beneficiary receives an annuity, the costs of settling the estate will come out of the cash. You should frame a motion to have the court review the matter and render a decision regrading the issue. The court may decide the other heir should pay a portion of the costs.
Yes, but only if ALL of the following are true: * The death is not contested * The will is not contested * Probate debt is clear * Beneficiaries are well defined * Beneficiaries shares are well defined The higher the amount of complexity in the estate and the will, the longer that it will take for the beneficiaries to receive their share of the estate. There are few banks that will take a risk on that complexity until there is a clear ownership of the assets and that will only be made clear during the end of the probate process.
No, you cannot be forced to accept a bequest. You can decline and the money will go to the other beneficiaries.
The only person who can deal with the estate is the deceased's executor.However, if the decedent arranged for an annuity to pass to a named beneficiary on death the proceeds pass directly to the beneficiary upon the death of the decedent. Those proceeds are not a probate asset and this are not part of the probate estate.
As an executor, you have a duty to sell the house and distribute the proceeds. If you want to buy the house from the estate, you can make that arrangement.
Annuity death proceeds do not pass by will or state intestacy laws. Like life insurance, employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs, annuities pass to the beneficiaries named. If there is no named beneficiary, then proceeds, at death, will pass to the estate of the owner, (and would then pass by will).
The beneficiaries receive the full estate value
The executrix is responsible to distribute the assets according to the will or the laws. The consent of the beneficiaries is not required.
