The Executor Has One Job

DAVE SAYS: The Executor Has One Job

Dear Dave,

My wife and her siblings each inherited about $10,000 when their dad passed away. One of her siblings, who was named executor of the estate, told my wife that she plans to withhold the money from one of their siblings. She said it’s because she thinks she’s financially irresponsible. My wife and I don’t think this is the right thing to do, and we’re wondering if it’s even legal. Can you give us some answers?

Mike
