Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada
penalties for violating blocked account agreement
I was ordered to create a blocked account for my Aunt who was to recieve a sum of money. No one was able to locate her so the money was to sit in the blocked account. I am the executer of the will and I failed to open the account and spent a considerable amount from it(her share was about $20,000). I'm young, foolish and unexperianced with money and am in sheer terror on what the consequences will be. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If you cannot replace the money you need to resign as Executor.
