They can't claim to be the executor, they have to be appointed by the court, otherwise they have no legal standing to do anything with the estate. And you have the right to object to their being appointed executor.

Should sibling who is executor and is inheriting estate residual be able to get executor fees from other sibling who is inheriting most of estate in real estate?

Yes. There is a lot of work and responsibility involved in being the executor of an estate. The one sibling/beneficiary who is appointed should not be reqired to work for the other beneficiary for free. In some cases the executor may not charge the statutory fee, however, they should not be expected to work for free. The executor fee should be paid from the estate. If one of two sibling is inheriting real estate then they should make a cash contribution equal to one-half of the executor's fee.

I'm executor of my parents will. A sibling was added later as co-executor. Their intention was for the co-executor to assist me but for me to have final approval. Is that true or are we now equal?

You are not the executor until you have been appointed by a court. Court appointed co-executors generally work together as a unit unless other intentions are clearly stated in the will. You need to seek clarification from the court.


Does the executor to a person's will have the legal authority to bury the person's remains without sibling consent?

Yes. The Executor has full authority regarding the estate of the deceased. I have seen a few cases myself where the executor cremated the body, took the ashes to a private location, and never told anyone of that location. Obviously, however, the siblings could attempt to fight this in court.

Can an executor hide information from a sibling?

Generally, the status of a person as a "sibling" is not relevant. What is relevant is whether that sibling is or is not a beneficiary under the will. An executor has an obligation to give information to the beneficiaries of the estate as named in the will, not to all the decedent's relatives. If a sibling (whether it is a sibling of the decedent or of the executor) has no interest in the estate, he/she has no rights to information about the estate. In some jurisdictions, an executor might be required to simply give that sibling notice of the probate of the will, even if the will gives that sibling nothing, but only if that sibling would inherit some part of the estate in absence of the will. As with all legal questions, the specific answer may differ from state to state depending on that state's laws. So you must check those laws to get the precise answer.
