Should a solicitor notify beneficiaries if an executor owes money to the estate?

If someone owes taxes a dies what happen next?
This is a very interesting question. If someone dies and owes money to the IRS, the Executor (the person who takes responsibility for the deceased person's estate) is then responsible for settling the person's debts (using the deceased person's estate, not their own money or assets). The Executor is responsible for collecting and arranging for payment of debts of the estate and approving or disapproving creditors' claims. The money in the estate must be used to pay off the person's debt. If, however, the deceased person does not have any money in the esate to be able to pay off the tax liability, the debt DOES NOT transfer to the Executor UNLESS there was a joint liability with the deceased (if the Executor is the widow or widower of the deceased, and the two had filed joint returns, the liability will be assessed to the Executor). Otherwise, the Executor will need to contact the IRS, provide a death certificate and evidence that the estate is unable to pay off the liability. The debt should then be canceled once and for all. For information on claiming a refund for a deceased person, you'll need to file a Form 1310.

How long does the executor of a revocable trust have to settle an estate in Tennessee?
You have your terms confused. An executor is the representative of a person's estate who carries out the provisions of the will. A trustee is the administrator of a trust. They are both called fiduciaries. Every fiduciary owes a duty to carry out their responsibilities in an efficient and expeditious manner. If they fail to do so then you can file a complaint in the proper court and have them replaced.
How do you divide an estate when two of three heirs owe money to the estate?
The value of the estate, which includes the debts owed to it as well as the debts the estate owes, is divided up into three parts. The amount those that owe the estate money receive is off-set against the debt. If there are more debts owed by the estate then it is worth, those owing money will have to pay it to the estate.
