Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
responsibility for legal bill
My wife is executor of a friend's estate. The friend died in North Carolina. My wife hired a lawyer in NC for turnkey executor work. Is my wife or the estate responsible for the legal bill?
There is a truck in the estate. The loan on the truck is more than it can be sold for. The friend's mother is the will beneficiary. Is the mother responsible for the outstanding loan balance?

Re: responsibility for legal bill
The estate is reponsible for the attorney's legal bill as well as whatever is still owed on the truck.
