Does the executor over a will have to give a monthly accounting of the money?

Live in Idaho. Have a brother-in-law who is over mother-in-law’s estate. Asked for a statement and refuses, says he does not have to answer to anyone and is in his legal right. I believe he is not providing a statement because he is taking money from the estate. Can we by law force him to release a monthly statement?

You may need to hire your own lawyer to send a letter to the Estate and demand an accounting.  If he does not comply then you need to file a request for same in the Probabe Court.  Do so soon becuase if he did not post a bond you will be chasing him for funds you think he stole.  Have him removed as well.  Here is a link.  Good luck.
