The courts can order the individual to pay back the stolen money through a civil judgment, which legally obligates the person to repay the estate. If the individual refuses to comply with the court order, enforcement actions such as wage garnishment or seizure of assets may be used to recover the stolen funds on behalf of the estate.
It obviously depends on what the judgment was for, and may depend on your particular state laws. Money judgments usually become assets of the estate of the deceased, and the executor or administrator of the estate will have to pursue, abandon or compromise the claim.
I did my project surreptitiously for fear that someone would copy it. I surreptitiously added my prepared paper to the stack of completed tests. The embezzler was trying to surreptitiously replace the money he had stolen.
First, a family member must know where a person keeps the Will so that if the person dies, someone can bring it out. Second, after a person dies, the Will must be probated, meaning it must be brought to the Probate Court to be recorded. If the person has debts or is owed money by "entities" (i.e. whoever), the Estate must still be probated even if there is no will or if it cannot be found; the estate would be treated as if the person never made a will, e.g. the person died Intestate, meaning "with no will". If you are the Administrator of a Will, you will already have a copy of the will. If you were not the Administrator, you can request a copy at the Clerk of Courts office. If it is still in Probate, the Clerks' office may waive the copying fee since you are a direct relative. If for any reason your request is denied, you can hire an Attorney to investigate the denial and to represent your interests in the estate.
An estate typically includes assets owned by an individual at the time of their death, such as real estate, personal property, investments, and financial accounts. It also includes any debts or liabilities the individual had when they passed away. The estate is then distributed to heirs or beneficiaries according to the individual's will or the laws of intestacy.
Since the executor has the authority to handle the assets of the estate, pay any debts, and collect a statutory fee for their services before the legacies are paid the executor would have no reason to file a claim against the estate. They would be filing a claim against themselves in their capacity as the executor. You need to provide more details.

There has been no valid proof of money being stolen from the Estate. The bulk of it was left to his daughter, and many reports claim that his former wife Courtney Love made up the story to get herself some publicity.

People who are deceased do not inherit money. Many wills indicate alternate beneficiaries, but if there is no stated alternate, then the courts must rule on what happens to the estate.
yes you do, but maybe the heirs will forgive the loan that was made.
No, not unless you have a court order to do this to recover your losses.
When someone passes away, the term "estate" refers to all the assets and liabilities they leave behind, including property, money, and possessions.
This depends on how much money was stolen and where the crime was committed (which country or state)
As long as the estate as open. Typically the estate will be closed long before they have hit the statute of limitations on debt.
In relation to an IRA account or some similar trust account, the money goes DIRECTLY to the beneficiary and is not a part of the estate at all
