Can a trustee who has a life interest of the Net Income from an estate keep all the finances of sale if a beneficiary passes away before selling? The beneficiary had approved the sale of the estate before passing.

The will should cover the treatment of income and capital of the estate. Trustees are generally entitled to reimbursed for costs incurred. Non-professional trustees generally are not compensated for their work in performing the duties of a trustee.
