Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
Estate monies
I and my siblings are co-representatives of my mother's estate. All expenditures require
approval of all of us. What law is
broken if checks are written and paid
to some of us without the knowledge
or formal approval of all of us? What penalty can be assessed?

Re: Estate monies
It could be deemed fraud and if the expense/check written was not justified that person may be ordered to pay it back to the estate.
