Best Answer

In most states the Executor/ Administrator functioin is allowed a percentage fee to cover administrative expense. Complicated wills with large estates have additional (or should have) additional safeguards to ensure fair and honest management, like regular review by a law and accounting firm.

This area of estate planning and management requires skills that multiply as the size and complexity of a prospective estate increases.

The administrator made you put your own beneficiary funds into the estate account advising it was required. Can you sue her for fraud or petition the court to remove her?

You haven't explained what the "beneficiary funds" consisted of or where you got them. If the funds came from a joint account with you and the decedent or from a "payable on death" account with you as the beneficiary the funds are not part of the probate estate. You should visit the court where the probate was filed immediately if you think you are a victim of fraud by the administrator. You can file a motion to have your question answered after a review by the court. If the administrator is mishandling the estate she can be removed and replaced by the court.You haven't explained what the "beneficiary funds" consisted of or where you got them.
