South Carolina is my state
My grandfather recently passed away leaving most of his estate to my mother "his daughter" and her sister "also his daughter".
MY Grandfather named my Aunt's husband as PR and stated that "no bond should need to be taken out". However my grandfather also did not know "nor did we until recently" that My Aunt's husband was disbarred from the practice of law because of numerous offenses INCLUDING misappropriation of client's fund from a trust fund that he controlled.
My mother decided to demand a bond.
Two questions..
Since she has a 50% interest in the estate doesn't she still have the right to demand a bond "even though the Will states one shouldn't be needed".
Would he have to pay for the Bond and then after the will is settled charge the estate for the bond cost?
