Best Answer

You should keep detailed records with copies of checks used to pay the expenses. When the property is sold, the beneficiary's share of the expenses should be deducted from his/her share of the proceeds and that amount should be added to the share of the proceeds distributed to the other beneficiaries.

Can a beneficiary stop the sale of a house?

A court appointed executor has the power to sell the real estate if the power to sell real estate was granted in the will or by a license of the court. If the beneficiary is the sole beneficiary and the proceeds from the sale of the real estate are not needed to pay debts then the beneficiary may be able to obtain a ruling from the court against the selling of the real estate.

How do you get a deed for land that is being given to you?

A will that transfers real property must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the beneficiary legally. The beneficiary doesn't have to arrange to have a deed in their name, the probate is a public record and can be cited as the legal source of title. If the beneficiary wishes to obtain a deed in their own name that can be accomplished after the estate has been probated. It should be done by the attorney who handled the estate. The beneficiary, as the legal owner, would convey the property to a straw. The straw would convey the property back to the beneficiary and the beneficiary would become the record owner of the property in the land records. This transfer should be done under the supervision of an attorney who specializes in real estate and probate law.

Your father has died intestate and you have a brother who you cannot locate what happens to his share of the estate?

In the course of the settling of the estate the probate court will require that your brother's share be deposited in an account. If there is real estate that must be sold the court will need to specifically address the fact of the missing brother and will issue a license to the Administrator granting authority to sell. His share of the proceeds will go into that account.You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate who can review your situation and explain your options.
