What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arkansas
Hello back again guys
Diff question tho. I finally received from the estate lawyer what was told to me to be "estate finalization" papers, which in reality turned out to be a document asking MY approval to pay 3k to the realtor who sold my mom's house back in 2007. The proceeds from the house sale were put into my trust.
It has been three years. The executor has been paying estate claims and has never needed my approval before, why should this claim be any different? And also, don't real estate agents receive their commissions at closing (usually from the buyer or title co?). OK, even if it DID have to come from the estate, why was that not given to him and THEN the remaining amount was put into the trust?
It is just striking me as odd that suddenly they need my approval to pay a claim, when it is the executor's job to do so, and they have never needed nor asked my approval to pay any other estate claims (I am sole beneficiary). Is this normal? I know it may be hard for you to answer this without seeing a copy of the real estate selling contract (which I have been unable to acquire so far), but again, this doesn't seem normal to me? Why do they suddenly need my john han**** to pay a bill when they never have before??
