I've recently paid the funeral expenses for my father's funeral out of the estate account. ($10,000)....should any travel expenses be paid to family members ( out of state)....???
I do not think there is a section for this..but I would go on the IRS website and ask them. Or your aacountant...but i am going to say no...unless it is a voluntary thing YOU want to do out of your poecket. [ dinoold's advice column | Ask dinoold A Question ]

I don't think its required, but if one of your family members is having a particular hardship, it would be very nice of you. Unless it is required in the will, you don't have to do it.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

In fact, if they have proper ettique they should be giving you money with their sympothy cards to help pay for the funeral. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
