Hello from Minnesota!!
My husband is the executor of his sisters will and small estate. She passed away a month ago. She was ill and living in a nursing home. For about 6 weeks, she received assistants from the state. Her daughter was power of attorney. Everything must go through probate. Her daughter has now spent down her account with nothing left in the bank for probate fees,attorney fees,etc. Would my husband be responsible for these unpaid cost since he is the executor? The laywer needs mo ney up front to start the probate process. We are not sure if we need to get a laywer for our own sake.
