How does the beneficiary of a will prove to renters that he is the legal owner of the property?
In order for title to real property to pass to the beneficiary legally, the estate must be probated. The "beneficiary" needs to provide proof to the tenants that they are the new owner of the property. The beneficiary's source of title is the probated will filed in probate court. If the beneficiary wants to have the property conveyed to her/him by deed, that can be arranged through the attorney who handled the estate. A letter from the attorney who handled the estate would be the appropriate way to notify the tenants of the new ownership. In fact, the tenants should have some official notification of the change in ownership so they know they are paying their rent to the right party. You should discuss this matter with the attorney who handled the estate and get some legal advice about your new role as a landlord.

Is the trustee of an irrevocable trust responsible for paying from the trust debts incurred by the deceased beneficiary?
Generally, no. Trust law is a very complicated category of law so this question can only be addressed in very general terms. A trust is administered by a trustee. Every trust is different. A well written trust will contain a provision that directs where the trust property will go upon the death of the beneficiary and the trust will terminate. Trusts do not generally allow the trust property to become part of the beneficiary's estate. Generally the beneficiary is allowed to receive the income from the trust during their life and upon their death the trust property is distributed to their children or other family members free and clear of the trust. You would need to review the provisions of the trust to determine what happens to the trust property upon the death of the beneficiary. If there is no such provision an equity petition must be presented to the court asking for guidance. Generally the petition explains the defect in the trust and may also contain evidence concerning what the trustor intended but failed to state in the trust document. A judge will review the trust and issue a decision. A beneficiary-decedent's estate is administered by a court appointed Executor or Administrator. That is a separate proceeding and the Executor or Administrator has no authority to reach into the trust for funds to pay the debts of the decedent. In fact, the purpose of a trust is generally to protect and preserve assets.
