Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
My father-in-law passed in 12/08. According to the will my husband was to come up with 170,000 in order to receive the home we now reside. This was done, but as it turns out we paid an additional 32,000. We received a document to close out the estate, but have not signed yet. We would like a final distribution so we know why we paid 32,000 more. Where did the money go and why? What are our rights?

You do not need a final distribution to find out why you paid $32,000 more. You have the right to demand to see why you paid what you did and what for. It is like any other purchase of property, you should have been given by the title company an estimate of costs and fees estate. I do not understand why you were not given an explanation and why you did not ask for one.
