You need to speak to an attorney who specializes in estate law.

I believe if you're the executor of the estate, you are in charge.  Sounds to me like he may have helped himself to the insurance check.  The insurance company may not give you any information since you were not listed as a beneficiary, this is most likely seperate from the estate.    I would proceed with caution.  i know a little as my husband is the executor for his late fathers estate.    ITA with others, ask an estate attorney.

100 % your brother doesn't seem to care about you.

you need to think about yourself, trust me you won't be the first person to come to an estate law lawyer with a similar issue they see it all the time

think about yourself

I would not believe a word that comes out of the mouth of your brother or SIL.

@hyacinth003 - I have no advice to offer.  I am so sorry you have to deal with this in addition to the loss of your dad.  

When my nephew died a counselor from an organ donation organization told me that death brings out the best in people or the worst.  It is clear where you are in this.  

Sending love for you

@hyacinth003 .............for all the trouble you are still having please take our advise and hire a lawyer.  It will save you a lot of time, energy and grief.  Let the lawyer be the bad guy to your brother.  I dont understand why you are still trying to do this on your own.

@hyacinth003 Your post sounds very  much like something you posted quite some time ago. Guess this is still ongoing.

YOU NEED A LAWYER.

@hyacinth003 - when I was an executor, the attorney did this kind of thing for me. He wrote letters using his letterhead, of course. Good luck. Doing this is never easy.💗

It looks like your SIL inherited the $10,000 and taxes were taken out.  She would be responsible for the taxes, not you.

Your father is deceased,and his estate is not responsible for paying income taxes for money the beneficiary received.

I think it is odd that your father would leave his daughter-in-law money...I have this checked out.

Since when do you only pay $95.00 tax on $10,000?
