Summary

In Wisconsin, an executor must follow the wills terms and pay estate bills before distributing assets. Personal bills should not be paid from the estate. If you suspect the executor is not fulfilling their duties correctly, consult a probate attorney. The car, as part of the estate, should be divided among beneficiaries.

My dad past in April last year his will is very easy my sister was the administrator of the will in the will it says the estate including any interest he owned at his death in personal effects household furnishings automobile and all other items of tangible personal property not effected disposed of written statement equal shares of my children does the administrator have the right to get the title change having the old girlfriend sign of and let her son take over payments then he sells the car to make a profit is this fair even though he is her child
Hello ****. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In general, an executor or administrator is required to follow the terms of the will. If the will states that the car should be divided equally among the children, then it should be done so. Can you confirm your location? Laws may vary depending on the jurisdiction.
Wisconsin I just don’t think its right that she took bills out of the benifiaers money to pay exiting bills from the property that was her trailer dad put it in her name but she tallies up the lot rent electricity bills stamps etc to pay them is this right legal?
In Wisconsin:
- The administrator should pay estate bills before distributing assets.
- If bills are related to the estate, they can be paid from the estate.
- If they are personal bills, they should not be paid from the estate.
I suggest contacting a local probate attorney for more specific advice.
You think I should keep going on her taking care of here family first
As an AI, I can't form opinions but I can say that if you believe the administrator isn't fulfilling their duties correctly, you might want to consult with a probate attorney. They can provide legal advice tailored to your situation.
Ok thanks just wanted some more input the car makes me wonder he’s dead girlfriend on title my sister has her son go to the girlfriend Aggie’s for her to sign she can’t afford payments and she signs it to him isn’t this still my dads assesses even though she did that
In Wisconsin, the assets should be distributed as per the will. If the car is part of your dad's estate, it should be divided among beneficiaries. If you suspect misconduct, consider consulting with a probate attorney.
Thank you
