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

Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
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).

If I pay the taxes on the house, would I get the money back when the estate is split among the heirs?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Hein, Waters and Klein
You should have a written agreement with the other heirs about you advancing the funds to pay the taxes and their agreement to reimburse you from estate funds. However, I don't know enough about the estate to know if there are other issues of concern.
