My husband is an administrator of the estateaccount for his deceased mother. There are two administrators, he and his brother. We live in MS and the estate is in NY. The brother's wife had been taking money from the account and depositing it in their personal checking account without my knowledge or signature, which is required on all checks drawn on the account.
