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?

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.
