FWIW, the main reason we all flew to the other coast where the house was was to get it ready for sale, knowing what horrible shape it was in from prior visits, and interview sales agents and meet with the estate attorney, etc, etc. I get that the meals are out definitely. In any event, I will study what you've sent and take your advice to heart. I really thank you for providing it.
Actually, I am, now recalling that, while he may have implied that only certain types of expenses are eligible, he did say that since the trust would be the only estate entity filing a tax return, that all expenses of liquidating their estate could be assigned to the trust, even the costs of things that were not in their trusts. Would you agree with that statement?
Thanks again.
