Even the legal fees that were spent on keeping what the will said was to be mine? There was no cash in the estate to pay myself, I would've had to sell property to reimburse myself but it was locked up with lis pendens in lawsuit. I look at it like a RE sale, if there is litigation or are unexpected legal expenses due to title problems, encroachments, etc. , those expenses count against your proceeds... Basically, without paying the legal fees, I wouldn't have the property and might've of even then been sued by the same sibling if they were then dissatisfied with the outcome they tried to force as I then wouldn't have properly discharged my duties as the named administrator. It's maddening to even think back on that time!
