My father passed away mid June of 2022 and I was called to be the executor of his modest estate to which I didn’t benefit from in anyway. At this tone. I was called from my home in middle Georgia to my hometown in south texas to handle the final arrangements and personal property along other things like his pets and the boats and supplies he used in his business as a fisherman. I left as soon as I got the call but he had passed away mid trip and by the time I arrived the whole property had been broken into ran shacks and most of what’s was valuable was stolen or destroyed along with the house being left destroyed nearly on someone’s bad trip while on the search for buried treasure had punched hole in the walls and floors everywhere. It’s so sad someone could do that but it happens
i spent 25 days down there sorting trash from keep sakes and repairing the fanage in order to prepare for the sale. I kept a log of everything spent with receipts. I paid the clerk and filed appropriate paperwork prior to heading home after finding a suitable buyer. My father died intastate and my sister and we’re to spilt the proceeds although I passed my share on to her . I didn’t get reimbursement from the estate and am looking to claim these moneys spent on my taxes if possible . Is there a way to claim these as deductions paid to or for a private foundation as executor if his estate. Seeing. As I didn’t profit in anyway from the properties sale
