An executor of a will may be paid for work done on the estate if the will states they are to be paid. Most states will allow expenses to be paid within reason to the executor, but they must show proof.
The executor should never pay the bills themselves. They should have the estate do it. Yes, with proper receipts, there should be no problem with getting the money back.
No, the executor works for the estate. The estate will pay the executor a reasonable fee. The beneficiary has limited direction that they can give the executor.
They do not pay the estate attorney's fees, the estate does. If they hire their own attorney, yes, they have to pay them.
The executor's job is to settle the estate. That includes resolving all of the estate's bills, from the estate, not their own pocket.
The executor of an estate uses the assets of the estate to pay any taxes or other debts owed by that estate. If it should turn out that the taxes owed exceed the value of the estate, then the executor pays as much as the estate consists of, after which there is no longer an estate.
The executor can move into the estate. However, they do need to pay rent or show the court how they are compensating the estate, for instance, free rent instead of collecting a fee.
The executor is not personnally responsible. The estate is responsible to pay off the debts. If the assets are not sufficient to pay off the estates, they do their best and get the court to agree.
Being the executor does not make you personally responsible. The estate has to pay any debts. If the estate cannot pay them, the debtors do not get paid.
No. If an Executor takes out a loan it has nothing to do with the estate he is executing.
The fee paid to the executor is considered taxable income.
That will depend on the value of the estate. The executor will have to file a tax return with the IRS for the estate.
The executor is responsible for the assets of the estate. That would include taking care of the property taxes, upkeep and maintenance. The executor is not personally responsible for the bills, the estate is.
