Will Dispute Tax Issues

Summary

If a will specifies that you can stay in a house but the executor (niece) isnt paying the property taxes, you can request a formal accounting of the estate. If the executor fails to fulfill her duties, seek legal advice and report non-compliance to the probate court in Lynchburg, SC. Document all communications and consult a local attorney for guidance.

Hello **** ****, in South Carolina, the probate process can be complex. Here are some key points:
- A will's executor is responsible for paying taxes.
- If the will doesn't specify who pays, heirs may have to contribute.
- Consult a local attorney for personalized guidance.
I suggest contacting a probate court in Lunchburg for further assistance.
