<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent died, leaving the residue of his estate to his three children in equal shares.  If it can be proved that one of the siblings wrongfully raided one of the decedent’s accounts during the decedent’s lifetime and the amount can be
 proved, can that amount be considered and be treated as an advance against the raiding sibling’s share of the estate?  Your opinions are appreciated as always.
