Q: Kentucky, costs of probate, procedure of the estate administrator?
I inherited a sum of money in Kentucky. The executor gave the money to a bank to manage and said that the bank would now dictate the rules for the further procedure. Also that I now have to pay a large sum of money for fees immediately and only then can I receive the inheritance. It would not be possible to pay the costs from the inheritance and then pay out the rest. That can't be right???? Can anyone tell me whether this is actually required by law in Kentucky?? The executor is from Louiseville. I myself am from Germany.
Thank you very much
