Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia
I am the executor of my mothers estate. The county in which I live in Virginia is coming after me for estate fee's. There is no money in her estate and in fact I have paid a large amount out of pocket already for other taxes and fee's. I feel strongly this should be split 4 ways between my siblings and me. What would happen if I don't pay all that is due? I have already paid my 4th.

If this particular fee is only applicable to executors, then your siblings would
have no responsibility for sharing in its cost (assuming that none are named as
co-executors for this estate).
Nevertheless, as I have never hear of Virginia localities attempting to levy taxes or fees on estates, you might want to check on this particular county's legal
authority for doing so.
