A: If you or anyone else has gone out of pocket for final expenses such as funeral expenses or attorney fees, and there is no cash in the estate, yes, when the property is listed and there is an upcoming closing, the people who paid final expenses can be reimbursed on the closing statement as a seller's cost.
