Thank you for your reply. My younger brother is the Executor, and he did not do those steps. I don't think he knew he had to do so. My dad passed two years ago so I am not sure if he can go back and file the paperwork but I will let him know. The property is being divided between 5 siblings and if anything each year we lost money due to assessments, repairs, taxes, and such but I don't think he kept records of expenses either. It would take time for him to find the paperwork I am sure.
