I did get an email about establishing executors. My other sister Caroline is really struggling with explaining fiduciary responsibilities. I am sympathetic to both. It is definitely a learning process. Caroline wants to hire a probate attorney to help her navigate the waters. Debbie the other...

Ok. It looks like I can't go the route of the small claims court. It is more than the $3000. I think my best is file a claim against the estate. It seem unreasonable for a person to gift an estate. She has also said I will be reimbursed from the estate. She contends that my 401K distribution...

I was shooting in the dark on this one. It seems like an angle. What is "OP"? total noob.

I found this guide. Guide To Creditor Claims In New Jersey Estates | Probate Stars I don't want to pay $$$ to recover $6700. This is a DIY project. I have represented myself in court on 2 occasions, 1 - 1. :) I should really be 2 - 0. :) I am software engineer by trade with a degree in...

Point taken. When should I write the letter? After the court notifies me that the executors have been approved?

Understood.

Good question. The sister that is agreeing with me, is waiting for the other sister to get on the same page. I really don't want to wait too long, since it is very time sensitive. I will draft a letter to both sisters for the funeral expenses.

Ok. I am not sure of the process in NJ for getting the court appointment for the executors. Is it just a matter of filing the requisite paperwork with court? I am assuming she already has the authority. She was able to get the 401K distributed. Negotiating with the hospital for the medical bills.

My sister is really resisting reimbursing me. A little stubborn. Follow up answers. My mother died April 23, 2022 My 2 sisters were appointed executors via the Will. Not court appointed. Only one sister is really fighting to reimburse me. The sister that is getting the condo. Follow up...

Everyone thank you for your feedback and response. My other siblings talked some sense into my sister and she is going to reimburse me.

I did contact my sister who is handling the administration of the state. I did not read the Will until 2 months later and found out that to my surprise that nothing was left to me. I thought everything would have been equally distributed amongst the beneficiaries. My sister does think my 401k...

How do I get reimbursed for funeral expenses? Am I entitled to be reimbursed for funeral expenses? I contributed $6700 to my mother's funeral expenses. I was named a beneficiary on mother's Will. I do not expect to receive any monies. I was a beneficiary on my mother's 401k. I did receive the...
