[WSBAPT] Payment to non-PR beneficiary for labor performed to sell estate asset?

[Ryan Castle]

All,

Must estate pay to a non-PR beneficiary who performed work to prepare a
deceased's house for sale as part of the estate? If so, would that be an
administrative expense, or a payment to a creditor? These are tasks such as
coordinating and meeting with contractors to make repairs. The PR would
normally perform these functions but she lives out of state and is tasking
the non-PR beneficiary with these activities. This same non-PR beneficiary
will also act as real estate agent to sell the property, which the deceased
specifically stated in his will. This same non-PR beneficiary will also
receive part of the proceeds from the property sale per the will.
