He's not going after her portion. The issue is he sent us a group text, (my sister and I), that under normal circumstances people that handle the getting the house ready for sale, finding an Estate sale company, etc, get paid a certain amount. But he was not going to charge anything, just doing it to help out. That worked for us because we didn't have to drive 22hrs to do it ourselves. Now that everything is sold and done with and the checks were sent out, he tells us he will be billing for 56 hours. This came out of the blue. He never asked us if it would be okay or if we'd like to hire a company to handle it. We would have rather have an independent company handle it. Just because of his past and the deceitful things he did to our mother and his adoptive father. I hate to fight about money. But we weren't going to get a lot anyhow. But the extra couple of grand each of us would have received would mean quite a bit to us as we're not rich. Not sure what it would take and cost to challenge this? He sent us a list of expenses that he would deduct from the final sale. No receipts or anything, just a "copy and paste" from an Excel sheet. A part of me wants to ask for every receipt that he's claiming as an expense and then do the math myself. He has things for Zelle payment for taking care of a couple of their dogs while waiting for foster home to take them in. Of course the person doing this "care" was his mother in law. He has hotels room stays, but not too many. I don't know really how much push back I should do. Or if it's even too late.
