[WSBAPT] Is beneficiary for real property required to share in probate operating expenses?

[Diane J. Kiepe]

You should review the will another time.  Usually there is a provision for costs and expenses.  The most common is such that these costs are typically paid from the residuary.

Hi, if a specific beneficiary is receiving money, I can see that they share in probate costs, but if it is just a tangible gift, here real estate, do they have to come up with funds to pay their pro-rata share of regular probate /PR costs and expenses?
Thanks
