Can an executor of Estate pocket some money for their own use???

Okay my wife’s mother-in-law recently passed away… in her last will and testament, she named my wife, her 2 sisters, and one grandson as beneficiaries of her life insurance… The executor is planning to use money to pay off some of the estate, which is fine I see how that can fit in to the setting… however… the executor is planning to also pull some money to pay for a truck that has no involvement with the estate of my wife’s late mother in law… Can the executor do this???

What happen if a last will & testament was made before getting married and his kids are the only beneficiaries?

Is there any legal right of the second wife of any property if she is not included in the last will and testament of husband? Last will and testament were executed way back before the husband got married the second time. The only beneficiaries are his children. What will happen to the wife? Will she gets nothing from his property of any kind? This is in Canada.
House still in mortgage but it’s solely under the name of the husband. They are living together in that house. Every time they buy furniture or fixtures it’s all under the name of the husband.

Executor of Will — Cost of Probate — Foreclosure of deceased home?

I need some help. I am the Executrix/Executor of a family member’s Last Will and Testament. At the time of the decedents death, I was told that I had two years upon when I could probate. The cost was near ,500 (State of Texas) so I am told.

Due to financial set backs and the suffering economy I intermittently did and then again, did not have stable employment. I do not have the financial resources to probate the Will at this time and still have about 8 months before the two year deadline is in effect. I am now employed. Although I barely make ends-meet at this time, I do foresee that I will be able to save the probate cost by the time I must probate.

In the meanwhile, the bank upon which the mortgage is held is taking legal action against myself and the heirs — one of which is not even mentioned in the Will due to being estranged from the deceased for over 15 years. However, the bank has served them with papers stating that they (and I am) are being sued.

I really need some advice and guidance here. I most certainly want to do the right thing and get this Will probated. I’ve just had a very difficult time with income and employment for the last 14 plus months. The bank does need to recover its mortgage costs, however, I do not want the house in question — nor to I want to live in or rent out that property. The house is located in a town that I would NEVER live in.

What can I do to stop legal action against myself as well as the other two heirs listed in the suit. The Will stated that I am the recipient of familial heirlooms, etc. But, I am in no way affiliated with the mortgage.

Help?!?!?!

In order to sell the house, prior to foreclosure proceedings, I understood that I would have needed to put quite a bit of money back into the house to remodel etc to bring it up to sell’able and competitive standards. There are many houses in that particular neighborhood whose curb appeal, condition of property,etc were in better shape for a comparable price structure. I did not and do not have the funds to remodel the home to make this house compete with other houses in the same neighborhood and price range. Before the now deceased passed, I was told by the owner/deceased to "just let the house go back to the bank…." And, that’ is what I have tried to do. Now, the bank/mortgage holder is suing me….

I would be grateful for guidance here –

Not to be snarky….but please only reply if you have solutions because this is seemingly a serious situation I am in.

In advance, I thank all of those who go to the time and trouble to respond responsibly.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Take care !!
…Be Well !!

What is a Living Will? Do Filipinos make Wills?

Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den talking about some last will and testament and I said to her, ‘I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all, If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’

So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.
