I have an estate where one beneficiary wants to keep several large items and I will need to oversee the removal of the items from the home. The items would not otherwise be removed, so it is purely for this beneficiary that the estate will be charged for several extra hours of my time.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Should this cost simply be spread among all the beneficiaries (none of whom are receiving any items from the home)?
