Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
The executor of the estate duties to the estate and the legatees and heirs of the estate. The executor must collect the assets of the estate, pay creditor claims, make specific bequests, liquidate assets as necessary to make the appropriate distributions. The executor is under a duty of loyalty to the estate and has fiduciary responsibilities to the estate. This means the executor cannot use estate assets for his or her own benefit and cannot permit the waste of estate assets. Use of estate assets for non-estate purposes could be done with an appropriate market value payment (i.e. rental).

Then leave a will giving them everything. I like to put in a line that says I know I am married, but I choose to leave her nothing. Even then, she may be entitled to the first $50,000 of your separate property.

You may leave whatever you wish to your children. Your spouse, however, has the right to elected to take a share in your estate without regard to your will. If you have no assets or don't have many this won't mean much, but the spouse does have the right of election to take against your estate - you cannot disinherit a spouse.
