Executor trouble
ohio
Please help...I never received an answer to the following problem:
In a nut shell...a friend died in an accident. He had 3 children in their 20's. He lists his brother in his will as the executor. There are certain pieces of property that the executor has taken possesion of: one is an expensive radar detector and a brand new $500 cd car stereo and speakers. Can he do this? His daughter wants these and he acts like he's allowed to keep them. Also a bigger problem is that this friend that died bought a used pickup truck about a month before he died and I was with him when he did this. I know for a fact that he paid over $6000 for this truck. One of his children wanted this truck but the "executor brother" took the truck and put the insurance in his name and is paying for the insurance out of the deceased estate money. He is driving this truck for personal reasons to and from work and daily to just about everywhere he goes. The children are concerned that he is devaluing this truck and they have seen it and say he has scratched it up and added lots of miles. Is he allowed as the executor to do this? Can they or should they take some kind of action to get these items back and stop him from using the truck for personal transport? He intimidates the children whenever they discuss these kind of things with him. I was very close to the deceased and very close to the children and am concerned for their interests. I hope someone can help me find these answers. I find it very hard to believe an executor has these kind of rights.
