A life estate is not an inheritance as such as you are merely permitted to use it for the rest of your life and have no ownership to it if you decide to give up your rights to the life estate and the respective heirs to it decide to sell it then you are entitled to receive one third of any profits gained from the sale and may not reimburse yourself of any costs you incurred whilst you were permitted to live there as it has never ben owned or part owned by you.
There are not likely to be any tax credits. The estate should reimburse you for your time and expenses.
The appointed executor of an estate is entitled to compensation, usually set by law in most states and jurisdictions.
Most wills have a provision providing for payment of funeral expenses out of the proceeds of the estate. Check the deceased's will to see if this indeed is the case. If so, a beneficiary (or any other person for that matter) who pays the funeral expenses should be reimbursed. As a side note, the expenses associated with the funeral are usually deductible expenses when filing the estate's inheritance tax return. Check with either an estate attorney or the register of wills (or Orphan's Court) of the county where the will was probated (or will be probated). You should be able to get the answers you need from the register of wills.
