Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Probate and Real Estate

If the deceased 's cash assets have already been spent on his expenses, is the Administrator allowed to use

money held in the estate (recently received inheritance) to pay mortgage, insurance & taxes? Or is the

Administrator required to use their own personal funds? What if that creates a financial hardship for the

Administrator?

(Asked previous Q re mortgage.)

Re: Probate and Real Estate

The Estate is responsible for all debts of the Estate. RARELY is an Administrator personally responsible for paying the debts out of his/her own pocket.

It sounds like the Administrator needs to contact an attorney for assistance in the Probate of this Estate.
