If you are a beneficiary and face issues with an executor, consult a probate attorney to understand your rights. You can challenge the executors actions if they are not in the estates best interest and request formal accounting for transparency.

I live in Idaho but my sister lived in goodyear, az. She recently passed and i was asked to help clear her house to make ready to sell. So i rented ujsul
Hello ****, sorry for your loss. It's crucial to ensure you're legally permitted to clear the house. Did your sister leave a will, or has the court appointed an executor to her estate?
There is a will and my niece and myself are on the will. My niece told me she was in contact with the executor and tjey said yes for meto goahead but leavr a few things that they specifically asked fot. When i get home to idaho the dtory has all changed saying no i wasnt supppse to remove the belongings?? Now they are putting outrageous values on common household items. What do i do? I dont trust them now as they misled me
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, ****. Here's what you can do:
- Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and responsibilities as a beneficiary.
- You can challenge the executor's actions if you believe they're not acting in the estate's best interest.
- You may request formal accounting, where the executor has to provide a detailed report of every transaction they've made.
