Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Am I entitled to recover from my mother's estate money that I paid out of pocket to maintain her home.
such as untilities, insurance, property taxes, the new fence last year and or any $ I paid out for someone to come in and care for her when I had to go to work?
There is only the house minus what's owed & 4 siblings.
mom's SSI only just coverd the mortgage every month, I out of my pocket paid everything else.
so mom could stay in her home.
no help from siblings. ( zero zilch, nada)
am I entitled to recover anything out of pocket, before the estate is settled ?
and if so what & how do I do this?

It sounds like you are entitled to at least some reimbursement. Exactly for what and how much is beyond the scope of an internet Q&A. Contact the Probate Court self-help office for how to file your claim.
