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

[Philip N. Jones]

I don’t have a cite handy, but I am reasonably sure that a statute provides for administration expenses to be paid out of residue first, general bequests second, and specific bequests third.  It is often referred to as an abatement statute.

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
