Are You Entitled To Get Money Back From Work You Put Out On House Repairs Before Money Is Dispensed From Probate?
Are you entitled to get money back from work you put out on house repairs before money is dispensed from probate?
Are you entitled to get money back from work you put out on house repairs before money is dispensed from probate? Well, that might depend on several factors including:
-The terms of the will
-Whether the work was necessary
-Who caused the problem that required the work to be done
As a homeowner, it's important to know that you're not entitled to get money back from work you put out on house repairs before money is dispensed from probate. That's because the property the work was done on wasn't yours—it was your loved one's. While you might have paid for the work, the money you spent came from your own pocket and no one else's; there was no obligation that your loved one reimburse you.
If someone in your family dies without a will, any debts they may have accumulated need to be paid off out of their estate. Federal law allows for a certain amount of personal property and other belongings to be excluded from the estate. But that leaves a lot of debts unpaid—and everything else in the estate is due to whomever is named in the deceased person's will. The executor might use money from the estate to pay off debts, or if there aren't enough assets to cover them (as would be the case if someone dies with massive debt), then whoever is listed as next of kin will be responsible for paying them off.
