No, executors are only involved in determining who to give money to, but they can't control what is done with the money by the people who receive it. Once you inherit money it is yours, to do with as you will.

Sometimes wills have conditions attached to them. For example, my son will inherit $50,000 but only after he gets married. That restricts his ability to inherit the money, by placing a condition on the inheritance. However, once he does get married and does inherit the money, he can still spend it any way he chooses.

If I were to say "My son will inherit $50,000 but I require him to spend it wisely" there is no way to enforce that. I might advise him to spend his money wisely, but in the end he will spend it the way he wishes, wisely or foolishly.

What if the executor of a living trust spends all the money that was in a bank account to maintain the estate for his own personal use Now there is no money to maintain the estate.What can be done?

A living trust has a Trustee (not an executor). You can bring a lawsuit against the Trustee. In the lawsuit the trustee will have to show what was done with the money, and the court will judge whether it is against the law or not. The trustee has a fiduciary responsibility and if that is violated, and there is proof, the trustee will lose the lawsuit and you will win damages.

What are uninsured persons called?

People are uninsured for a variety of reasons. Some have conditions that insurance will not cover. Sometimes, insurance companies drop people because their condition will be too expensive. Recently insurance companies have been exposed as dropping people just to improve their earnings. Some companies no longer offer insurance to their employees. When people lose their jobs, they also lose their insurance. Many people can't afford insurance. I think uninsured people should be called unfortunate, especially in a country that spends tax dollars on research that the majority of the citizens can not take advantage of.
