The executor of a will is the person responsible for making sure the desires of the will are carried out. They are responsible for paying off the debts and distributing the assets. They also have to pay taxes and file the appropriate reports with the probate court.

Would it be rude to ask my parents if I am receiving an inheritance from a grandparent?

Actually, yes, that would be rude, especially if your grandparent is still alive. If you decide to ask anyway, you need to do it delicately, and I don't know of any way to approach that subject delicately. Unless your grandparent has a Will, everything will most likely be divided between your mother or father (whichever is the offspring of the deceased grandparent) and his or her brothers and sisters. If there is a Will and your grandparent did name you to receive anything, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Will will be followed, so if you think you might be named to receive something, you need to find out as soon as possible after your grandparent's death and then let the executor and court know that you want to be informed of everything the excutor does BEFORE it is done, and you need to do it in writing. Wills mean absolutely nothing unless the executor follows them, at least not in my county in Indiana. I can't help but comment, though, unless you are very close to your grandparent, why would you think he or she would be leaving you anything when your parents are still alive? Deb


Your aunt left CD's in your name the excutor has put the CD's into the estate should you received the full value of the CD or taxes will be taken out?

Unless your aunt instructed in her Will that the CDs were to be left to you then you are at the mercy of the executor. The executor must be accountable for paying any outstanding debts that person may have and any bills. Then after that is done they will have to go through Probate for the Estate so they can determine if all personal/property taxes are paid as well as all creditors being paid. This can take up to 8 months to a year. It may be that is what the Executor is doing and this doesn't mean you won't get the CDs. If that is your aunts wishes and it's stated in the Will or you have a legal document with a date and her signature on it and states the CDs go to you then you have a right to the CDs and the Executor can get into trouble for not complying to the wishes of your aunt's Will.
