Can executor pay her daughter to paint the house to ready it for sale?

Usually, yes, however, the executor is running a risk. An executor is not prohibited from hiring a relative merely because she is a relative. However; the executor may not pay that her more than the job is worth. No sweetheart deals, even if the daughter is a sweetheart. But that type of transaction is subject to challenge since it is inherently a conflict of interest for an executor to hire relatives to do things. The beneficiaries have the right to contest the amount paid if that amount is unreasonable or if the job done is substandard. If the executor overpays or gets a sustandard job, he risks having to reimburse the estate for the difference between what he would have paid to a professional and what he paid to his daughter.

What happens to property in an estate if a testamentary trust in a will was never set up?

If the will directs that property shall pass to a trust that was never fully executed (such as a trust that was supposed to be set up while the testator was living and cannot be found), that devise will lapse and become part of the residue of the estate. If there is no residuary clause in the will that property will be distributed as intestate property.

If on the other hand a trust was set forth in the willand the will was never probated then you should submit the will for probate now. Generally, when a testamentary trust is created in a will, the will is submitted for probate so that the will can be proven and allowed as the last will and testament of the decedent. Once the will has been probated the court process continues and morphs into a trusteeship. Then, the named trustee is appointed and manages the trust according to the provisions set forth in the will. State laws on this issue may vary.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law who can review your situation and the will and advise you of your options.

What form to file on death of parents before end of tax year 1040 or 1041?

That depends on the type of income involved. If the return is for income the person earned during the year in which he/she died then a standard 1040 is filed by the executor. Typically the word "Deceased" is simply written on the top with a plain copy of the death certificate included. After a person dies, his/her estate becomes a new taxpayer with a new tax I.D. number issued by the IRS. The social security number of a decedent is not usable to report income earned by an estate after death. For this income, use a 1041. This answer is given for informational purposes only and not as legal advice, however I believe it is accurate.
