Did the executor incur these costs on behalf of the estate? If so they should be paid. Did someone other than the executor (a beneficiary or relative of the deceased) spend money and is that someone now looking to be reimbursed by the executor from the estate? If so that someone should be told to go take a flying leap.The executor is refusing to pay the Headstone costs of the deceased despite there being a legitimate invoice and receipt. ...
An executor is entitled to recover vouched out of pocket expenses incurred solely and exclusively in the exercise of their duties as executor. S/he is not entitled to invoice for the time spent in the execution of those duties.... He is however paying his own unvouched outlay in connection with the upkeep of the estate prior to it's sale.
+ 1 on that advice.
Hi Woodie. Where above does it talk about this? You seem to be contradicting your earlier comment?See above about beneficiaries agreement about agreed costs.
The beneficiaries can agree 'til the cows come home. The only person authorised to incur costs chargeable against the estate is the executor. It's not that his word is final, his is the only word.... However, if all of the beneficiaries agree to include this "extra" bill in against the estate then it can be paid..
