+1 I'm very impressed that you were able to find case law on point. I've practiced probate law for decades (I recently left it and have a holiday today) and I don't think I've ever seen a court order addressing the issue on way or the other.

There seems to be a typo in the first quote (in the source, not your quoting): “is” should be “in” for the sentence to make sense.

I love the end of that second example: it suggests that if only the respondent had bought more beer, they’d have been allowed to account it to the estate.
