Your question cannot be answered without reviewing the will and other facts and circumstances such as whether the estate is solvent without the house. You should schedule a consultation with a probate attorney.

My attorney advised that he would revise all previous inventories and resubmit to the court.

To be paid for repairs and as executor. That seems over the top? This is in Clark County Washington. He over drew the estate account and reimbursed himself.

Your lawyer should be able to handle this situation. That's why you have them. If your lawyer does not know how to handle this, consult with/ hire a new lawyer that does.

Since your stepfather died first, you should have received 50% of the home subject to the mortgage.

If your stepfather’s estate didn’t make other arrangements to pay off the mortgage, you and your mother likely would have had to refinance to pay off that mortgage, with you and your... View More

If you believe that the court is acting improperly, you may be able to file a complaint with the judicial conduct board or another oversight body. You might also attempt to file your appeal in a higher court, but failure to meet deadlines may be problematic.

The answer to this question requires a close analysis of the facts and the law. Generally speaking, if someone remarries and then dies without a will, the new spouse would be entitled to at least part of the estate of the person who died, and his or her children by a previous relationship would...

the homeowner's insurance comes out of the mortgage. I had a flood and filed a claim. They won't pay me directly, they want me to hire contractors and they will pay them.

In Delaware, if you are the executor and the estate is in probate, insurance payouts are generally directed toward the estate or directly to contractors for repairs.

IRS form 56 requires two forms to be filed - one with the name of the descendent and another with the name of the estate. Do I list the name of the "estate" as the property address itself?

When considering the name of an "estate" during probate or on IRS forms, it is generally not the address of the property itself. On IRS Form 56, you would typically list the name of the decedent for one form and the name of the estate as something like "Estate of [Decedent's... View More
