As the surviving spouse you do have a right to a share of the estate.

Usually all monies of the deceased are frozen for a period of time, then Probate takes place. This means that all monies owing (bills, loans, etc.) are first taken off the Estate. In the case of co-signing the banks should be able to give you more information. Either the person that the deceased co-signed for continues to pay the Estate money owing, or if they have stopped paying on the loan then the loan is a debt and will be taken out of the deceased Estate. No one should ever co-sign (not even to a relative or close family) because the co-signer has total responsibility for paying that loan off. Good luck Marcy

I received an inheritance from my father's estate, and the company withheld 20% in taxes to the Federal Government. How do I enter this on my return in order to get those monies refunded?
