Us Savings Bond Beneficiary

Question: Q about estate disbursement?

My father passed away in October 2007. My Brother in Colorado is the executor. I‘m not sure what the status of his estate is with the Probate Court. (Its in Georgia). My brother is saying that he can’t pay any of us (beneficiaries) anything until the estate is completely settled and after he pays the estate taxes. He says that won’t happen until Feb 2009. But hasn’t really given us a reason other than he has to pay taxes in Feb ‘09

For my personal situation, it would be better if I could get several small disbursements instead of one lump sum in 2009. I really need a disbursement now. Is it legal for him to make disbursements before the entire estate is settled? There is still a house and a boat pending sale, but my brother already has access to my Dad’s checking, savings, stocks /bonds, and such.

Thanks for your response.

Answer: Hi Vicki – know jacks**t about this stuff except my parents’ wealth won’t even meet funeral costs. Just sorry you lost your Dad. Let big brother play it his way. Keep your pride and especially your, hopefully nice, memories of your pop. Tony xxx
