Are travel expenses to settle an estate deductable?

I was named as executor of my aunt's will and had to make two trips to Arizona in 2015 for the sole purpose of settling her affairs, including her past 4 years taxes.  Would my expenses be deductible?  If so, what Form/Publication would I use?

Not on your personal return,. However, you can "bill" the Estate for those costs and get reimbursement from it.
