Short answer
Necessary costs of protecting and administering the estate may be paid from its value under the statutory rules. Distinguish essential preservation from expensive improvements made by personal choice.
Practical example
Urgent roof repairs prevent apartment damage; a complete designer refurbishment may not be necessary for every heir.
What to do
Where possible, agree the purpose and cost with co-heirs beforehand. Keep receipts, contracts, photographs and evidence of urgency.
Points to consider
Separate personal-use expenses from estate-preservation costs. Reimbursement should not rest on a verbal assertion alone.
