What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? WV
My ex husband's mother died a month ago. She has 2 sons: Oldest, "B", and youngest, "K"... the ex husband.
K owes $21,000.00 in child support arrearages and there is a court ordered judgement for this amount. The state of WV has a lien against K's assets. I am assuming, naturally, that his share of the net worth of the estate is K's assets, correct?
Ok, now... B was noted in the will as the Executor. He says however, he has moved all monies to another state; which I know he can do for his benefit of handling the estate; but says he will see to it that K's son does not get his child support arrearages. Also, that... "if he wants to, he can spend it all!" Well, we all know that type of person... Nevertheless.......
When the court places a court ordered lien, (Judgement), against a beneficiary's share of an estate, is the Executor legally responsible for paying it "before" he gives the remainder of K's part of the net estate to him?
Please ask if I've left any information out pertinent for the answer to this question. Thank you.
