Yes, if there is proof of a debt owed by the decedent to the other decedent.
It depends on why the heir paid cash to the estate. If it was a loan to the estate, it should be paid back first. If it was to pay the estate back for a loan, it is divided up like the rest of the assets.
The estate can require that the beneficiary pay the money back. Or they may offset the amount against what they get. If there is anything left over, there shouldn't be a reason to make them pay it back.
yes. but the thing is you have to pay that one back.
Real estate is located officially in one state or another, so the transaction would be covered by the laws that apply in that one state or the other, or preferably both, if you pay your lawyer to do it right.
There should not be a problem as long as everything is properly documented. The loan will count against their portion of the estate. If there is not enough money in the estate to pay the debts, they will have to pay them back.
The estate is responsible for the debt. They will have to pay it off before closing the estate. They have the ability to try and get the money/goods back from the person that spent it.
Yes
the members of the third estate had to pay money
They do not pay the estate attorney's fees, the estate does. If they hire their own attorney, yes, they have to pay them.
The executor should never pay the bills themselves. They should have the estate do it. Yes, with proper receipts, there should be no problem with getting the money back.
You don't. You open the estate, collect all the debts, liquidate all the assets and pay what you can. If there are more debts than assets, people don't get all their money back.
You still owed the money. The executor can ask you to pay back the loan. They can also credit it to any inheritence you may receive.
