- A relative passed away in June. At the time there was a clock in the repair shop. It still is. Now there is a light fixture in the house that needs replacing since the ballast is bad and a fire hazard. Since the house is still in the name of the deceased, who should pay for these two repairs? 1. the estate account set up to pay estate bills, etc. or the person who will inherit the clock, in the case of the clock. or the person who will inherit the house, in the case of the light fixture. The estate account has already paid for a plumbing repair. There are two beneficiaries. One of them will inherit the house (and the other will inherit the other parent’s home in due time). The 2nd beneficiary has placed the antique clock on their “desired to have” list from the contents on the house, that will be divided as evenly as possible by comparing want list. I know my opinion and I know the opinion of the two beneficiaries. I’ll edit my question with those opinions once some answers come in from a few people. I’ll award the points to the person who agrees with my opinion, or who makes a good enough case for the opinions of the beneficiaries. HOWEVER, you won’t know these opinions before you answer, so make your best case with your first answer. Pretend I’m the will executor and convince me who should pay for these repairs. legally the personal representative(s) or executor(s) can do anything they wish with the estate’s assets as long as they do not infringe on the rights of any beneficiary, they meet all probate court deadlines and if there are two of them they do not disagree and have to get the judge’s help. I have an Uncle who was a rep. and gave away some money before the claims period was over, with the approval of the two beneficiaries of course. The judge jumped down his throat. The Uncle pointed his finger in the judge’s face and said sue me. Know what the judge did? Nothing. The personal rep. or executor has all the power as long as they meet the above criteria. to Lady Luck……I agree but in this case we are talking about things that do not function as they should. ex: There is a hole in the hallway where an old thermostat was located. This is an imperfection for the new owner to fix if they desire but not a needed repair. Currently the insurance company is balking on a vacant house policy pending the light being fixed and paid for by someone. the beneficiaries are in the house from time to time to divide contents, sort through trash, junk, etc. The clock was in the shop before the death. The light fixture looks to have been non functional too, before the death since it has not been turned on until now to check and see that everything in the house works. The water leak occurred after the death but before the deed was transferred and the deed has yet to be transferred and the estate paid the water leak repair out by the meter. It is not a factor, but the clock repair is $175 and the light fixture is $47 plus licensed electrician to install it to satisfy the insurance company that some dumb home handyman did not botch a job that causes a fire down the road. I’m going to select an answer. I am a co-rep. with my sister. We are also co-beneficiaries but not on the house. Since she wants the clock I was not sure who should pay for that in my mind. Really half the estate account funds are mine and half hers, so if the estate pays for the clock, then I’m paying 1/2 of the clock repair for an item I’ll not inherit. Since she has no reason to want to pay any home repair she is balking on the fixture. It’s not a light bulb, the whole fixture has a bad ballast that has browned the white ceiling tiles indicating over heating. Fire hazards are greater in vacant houses than non vacant. The reason the deed is not in my name is my sister is dictating the rules and we both have laweyrs. I’ll have to pay this light repair with electrician to satisfy the insurance company out of my pocket and hope to be re-imbursed by the estate. She says the house is vacant and not needed to repair. Clock not needed now either. I’m choosing the answer by Rosebud.
- The Problem ¬¬¬Gloria is an antiques trader who has made a great deal of money from buying items at car boot sales. Gloria was asked by Maria, one of her regular clients who exports antiques to South America, to keep a look out for a grandfather clock. Because Gloria had heard that there were likely to be some bargains to be found in the Yorkshire Dales, she persuaded her friend Ahmed to drive her to a sale which was being held in Appletreewick. When they arrived at the sale-ground, Ahmed parked his car on a slight incline. The handbrake was properly applied. Almost immediately, Gloria found a suitable clock and Ahmed took it back to the car while Gloria telephoned Maria, who was very excited as she already had a buyer lined up. As Ahmed placed the clock in the car, he failed to notice that he had released the handbrake. Shortly afterwards, when Ahmed was not nearby, the car started to roll backwards down the incline. As it did so, it struck Jack, aged five, who was visiting the sale with his father James and his cousin Trudy. Miraculously, Jack suffered very little physical injury as the car passed over him, although he was shaken at first. James and Trudy witnessed the incident – which was over too quickly for them to intervene effectively - from a distance of a few of metres. The car eventually came to rest when it struck a tree. The clock was destroyed. Jack’s mother Delia arrived in her car, as previously arranged, to collect the family. At this point, Jack had calmed down and James and Trudy seemed in control of themselves. When Delia was told the details of the incident and saw the crash site she went into shock. Subsequently, she developed severe depression. Trudy now has PTSD and James complains of mood swings. Gloria was unable to sell the destroyed clock to Maria. Maria, who was very disappointed, has said that she will not do business with Gloria again. Ahmed is now being threatened with claims in negligence from Gloria, Delia, Trudy and James. James is also threatening to bring a claim on behalf of Jack. Advise Ahmed. If anyone fancies giving an in-depth answer, it would be very much appreciated! =D Thanks in advance for your answers people =D
