[WSBAPT] Executor's Pre-death Expenses

[Theresa Tilton]

Advice, please, concerning reimbursement of travel expenses:


Decedent is the executor's father. At her father's request, the executor travelled to Washington from the east coast to attend to her father during his last illness.  Is it a legitimate expense of the estate to reimburse her for her travel expenses? If so, should it be considered as a medical expense? How else?


The father had been in declining health for several years. In previous years, when she had travelled to help her father during times of his medical need, her father had reimbursed her travel expenses.  Her two brothers live in California and they were not able to come to Washington at those times, so the brothers had no comparable expenses.


Executor was medical POA and the estate is non-intervention.


Thank you for considering my question.


Theresa Tilton, Port Orchard
