Talk to a title company about insuring title on an affidavit of heirship. Probably you will have to probate one or both estates.

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Gregory M. Lane
It sounds like the administrator of the estate id trying to account for expenses of the deceased which may have been paid out of his or her account after he or she died for bills which existed at the time of his or her death.  This would be necessary for purposes of any estate or inheritance tax returns.  Debts of a deceased person are typically allowed as deductions from the taxable value of any property he or she had at the time of death.  As for your individual accounts information that sounds like overreaching but the joint account is probably proper.  For the joint account if you do not turn over the information the Executor may need to use a subpoena to order you or the bank to turn over the statements.  I advise you to do what you can to cooperate - it helps resolve loose ends for your now-deceased partner.

My mom, my ex and myself own a duplex . My mom lived on one side is on other. Mom died leaving her half of duplex to boyfriend. Can I contest ?

Estate Planning lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
If the will was properly executed, unless you can prove that the boyfriend coerced or unduly influenced her into leaving him her half of the duplex, you probably cannot contest the will- especially if there's a no-contest clause, which would generally provide that you lose your share if you challenge the will. It is important to have the will or a copy reviewed by an attorney to make sure it was properly executed.
