Do you have to press charges if your sister spent all the money in you mothers estate?

Not nearly enough info to answer question. Did your sister deplete your mother's estate prior to your mother's death? Did she have "power of attorney" to do so? Was your sister named as the Executor of the estate? For what did she spend the money and under what circumstances? (e.g.: Executors have broad discretion to disburse the estate of the deceased to pay all the outstanding bills and debts of the deceased.) Was the will probated through the court system? If a sufficient amount of inheritance is involved and/or you have questions about your sister's handling of the estate, you probably should consult with an attorney skilled in the area of probate law.

If you were left money by your mom and your sister has not paid her own debts will they be paid before she gets her money?
Your sister's debts are not part of the estate. The estate's responsibility is to pay the mother's debts and distribute the remainder. What your sister does with her share of the inheritance is up to her.
Can the IRS take your half of an inheritance if it is your sister that has the debt?
No. It doesn't belong to your sister until the estate distributes it. The estate will split the money/value as directed by the will or the intestacy laws. You will get your share and your sister will get her share. The IRS can place a lien on her share.
Can your sister who is listed as an executor along with you also as an executor try to have you removed as an executor on your mothers will?
Yes, she can petition the court to be the sole executor. If there is conflict, the court may very well appoint a third party, a bank or attorney, without a vested interest in the estate. This typically costs the estate money in the form of compensation to the executor.
What happens if a sibling is left in there mothers will as a co-executor but still owed her money on a loan from her?
If the loan is properly documented, the loan counts against their share of the estate. If there is not enough money in the estate to pay off the debts, they will have to repay the loan.
When can you expect to get your money back after spending your own money to pay bills on your deceased sister estate?
You need to file a claim against the estate. Provide the documentation and receipts to the executor. Your claim will be added to the others.
How much does it cost for a real estate lawyer?
The cost of a real estate lawyer will vary greatly depending on what your particular lawyer charges. I, for example, work in a real estate law firm. Our main lawyer there charges $235 an hour.
Your sister feels you have taken your mothers money can she have you arrested?
The police arrest people when they have some evidence of illegal activity. Your sister's believing that you have taken money is not enough for an arrest, but if she can provide evidence or proof that you did that, you may well be arrested.
Can a person who went to prison for murder and served his time buy a house if he inherits enough money from his mothers estate?
There is no reason they can't purchase a home.
When your mother dies can your brother sue you and your sister for money owed to her before her death?
Yes, if your brother is an heir or the executor of her estate.
If your father passed away 2 years ago and your mother and brother were using his credit cards and she passed away is the estate responsible for the credit balance after his death or is your brother?
This depends upon a couple of basic things. 1. Any debt incurred by the Mom or the Child (with Mom's permission) up to the time of the death of the Mom is the responsiblity of the estate. After all her name is on the account and she knew of the charges and therefore the assets available at the time of death must be applied to the liabilities at the time of death. 2. Any charges made after the death of all parties unless specifically made for the estate then those charges will be considered fraudlent. The Estate will not be responsible for those, however see number three below. 3. If the child is using the card with out permission then the estate will not be liable for the charges. However, the credit card company is going to want their money so they will ask for one of two things: 1)the estate pay the bill or 2)the executor of the estate will sign a statement that the charges were made with out the parent or estate's permission which would constitute fraud on the child who made the charges. They will then seek payment from the child or press criminal charges against them. Hope this helps.
If your husbands sister named his as one of her heirs and he died who gets his share of the estate?
possibly who ever he left his money to. im not really sure though..
What happens if you spend money that is in probate?
You had better be able to reimburse the estate so that it can be awarded according to the provisions of the will, or face contempt of court or in some states, be liable to the charge of "Wasting the Estate."
