Who is liable for the taxes and the lawyer fees in a will estate distribution?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
You should have gotten a copy of the Final Account, which would set forth how costs were paid, it would include an Affidavit of Attorney Fees showing the lawyer's bills all the detail you're looking for. If not, go to the court and ask to see the probate file on the estate. It will all be in there.

Am I correct in assuming that upon my death my wife will not have to go through the probate?

Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
Not having seen the documents, a probate may be required because the real property does not appear to be titled right, as tenants in the entireties, does not have a right of survivorship, and the fact if you predecease your wife, 50% of the estate goes to a cousin. Joint tenant title on the bank accounts and the beneficiary designation of the IRA allows for passing of these accounts outside of the probate.

These discrepancies are difficult to resolve and require instructions from the Court. The first step is to visit with an attorney specializing in estates. Then see if all involved can agree on a plan of resolution. Your attorney can help document the plan and everyone's agreements.
