[WSBAPT] GoFundme and estates

[Marcus Fry]

Anyone dealt with a situation where friends or relatives have set up GoFundme pages to cover the expenses of the decedent's funeral, etc., but is not actually connected to the estate?  I have situation where personal representative has been appointed and discovered two different GoFundme pages that have raised significant funds for the decedent's expenses, but these individuals aren't interested in cooperating with the personal representative.  Who owns these funds?
