What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
The will was to be divided equally among the beneficiaries. The coexecutor of a will has been living rent-free in the recently deceased's home. Can he be reimbursed for utilites, cable, mortgage payment and such from the estate since he was using the house as his primary residence? What should one do if he has been using the estate to pay bills already? He has also made changes to the home, and has already gotten rid of furniture without offering it to beneficiaries, and he moved the rest of their stuff to storage when he moved in; can he also be reimbursed for the storage fee? Now that the relative is deceased, is he entitled to live their rent-free, and can he legally sell the house and vehicle to himself? There is also reason to believe he is being dishonest about the assets. He has stated that their accounts have no money and the safety deposit box had nonvaluable stuff in it, like important papers, how can we find out about assets and see if he has stolen, and what actions can we take against him?
