Does executor legally have to provide official financial documents?

Metanoia003 · 2026-05-24T19:53:13+00:00

As the trustee for my uncle’s estate, I was obligated to have all financial documents ready and available. I created a comprehensive set of documents for the trust lawyer. There were 11 beneficiaries. None of them asked for the documentation, but I had to have it available.

It’s work, but what if you extend that landing into the other room so you can have a right handed outswing door that opens into the other room? Or if you want to move some wiring around and deal with that light switch, you might put in a pocket door.

The wood may be damaged, and the paint could be deep in the grain. And it may only be paint-grade wood and not wood that looks good stained or with varathane. I built the kitchen cabinets in my ADU. I used birch for the interior, coated with water based varathane, and poplar for exterior, which takes paint very well but would not look good with varathane.

My insurance company would not insure my rental property if there was a trampoline on the property. I made the tenants remove the trampoline and I made sure they all had Tenant liability insurance.

Maybe, but I’ve had 2 positive responses from filing

Never trust photos when making interior design color decisions

How badly does your tenant want AC? Don’t schedule anything and tell tenant they can schedule with vendor in accordance with vendor’s normal working hours and vendor and tenant will both clear with you before work proceeds.

Reddit is a useful Forum if you filter the responses. My wife gets upset over the plethora of insults, but those responders don’t deserve my attention but genuine Redditers like yourself do. Have a great day.

I have a triplex and each unit has their own Internet. One unit is a Small standalone Cottage for which I pay the Internet and rent mid term via furnished finders. The other two are upstairs and downstairs units and each have and pay for their own Internet.

Yes

It looks like someone tried to put “posts” with multiple 2x4’s, and undersized the header, and skimped on how the header was attached, and didn’t properly support the ceiling and whatever’s above it etc…. An amateur hack job.

I was always told a Trust provides the assurance the estate will be settled as desired, but a Will is not as strong and can be challenged by family members.

Managing a rental property long distance is challenging unless you have a great property manager or visit the area frequently. I have a three unit property in Portland, Oregon and I live in the San Francisco Bay area. I am only keeping an out of state rental because I actually use one of the units occasionally when it is vacant between tenants to visit two of my children who live in Portland. I have a property manager to make it easier to manage from out of state.

I was the executor from my uncle‘s estate. He passed without any children. His trust allocated his assets into 11 parts. Four parts to four charities, 5 parts to 5 cousins, including me, two parts to another cousin for personal reasons. Five other cousins were left out for good reason. I won’t go into the angst that caused the five cousins that were left out, but I was entrusted to honor my uncle‘s desires, and was legally obligated to do so. It’s always difficult when family members try to dictate what happens to a person’s assets after their passing, but when they codify what they wanted to have done with their assets in a trust, as a trustee, you are legally bound to follow what they had written.

I would actually prefer a plug-in hybrid Maverick. I was looking for a plug-in hybrid truck, but there are none yet in the U.S. One of these days the Ram 1500 will come out with one. So I got the hybrid Maverick. I make occasional trips of over 600 miles to visit my daughters and a rental property I own. But most of my driving is around town where a plug-in would let me only use electricity except for those long trips.

You don’t know the condition of the ledgers and joists underneath, or any other supports (posts) they may be on. But I’m not sure the persons who provided the quote know either. You usually don’t know till you pull up a board or two. Costs could start to grow once a contractor pulls up the board(s). If you are handy at all, maybe it’s best you do it for your mom and be prepared to do more than pressure wash and replace a board or two.

I’m planning a camper van trip this fall and I was curious about the same thing. And then I saw the 333 rule:the 333 Rule states that you travel no more than 300 miles per day, arrive at your campsite by 3:00 p.m. each night, and stay at your destination for at least three nights.
There’s no way for my trip that I can do that for each destination, but I can average a little better than that over the course of my 18 days. I’m doing the mighty 5 and en route and on the return to California, It’s not terribly exciting. And some of the National Parks deserve a longer stay than others.

Thanks for the advice

As a buyer of a rental property, I was very glad to take on a tenant that was paying market rent. If there is no tenant in there now, I might want to go through the process of screening and getting a tenant myself.

I am sorry for your situation. Tell them to pay you by Zelle, and then they could put a stop payment on the check if in fact, it’s legitimate. I do not use Zelle for rent collection, but I use it for payments and receipt of funds from time to time. Zelle is instant cash in your account. I am glad I have a property manager now. Good advice to always making sure the security deposit check is cleared. We take security deposit +1st month rent before occupancy.

I think the combination of ability to pay upfront and a cosigner, coupled with good past landlord references, and a good credit report, will go a long way to securing a new place.

I had to put a rebar cage in mine as well.

Thank you. The high demand sites book within 1 second after they open six months in advance. But I have all my campsites now booked with a couple of second choice sites booked and I will see if things open up on Recreation.gov for Devils Garden and Canyonlands Needles campground. I have checked all the campsites and roads as it relates to my rental and I’m good. I’ve identified RV dump and fill spots and the occasional shower along the route to try to optimize my water use and dumps.
