Legal advice on Taxes and estate planning

I was married for five years., emotional and psychological abusive. I want out with my piece of mind. I don't want anything, but the attorney wants me to provide pay stubs and tax returns. Do have to provide them. If I am not requesting anything

I was named executor of my partner's will and I asked that he also make his son-in-law (whom I trusted at the time) a co-executor. Turns out the son-in-law and his wife (my partner's very angry stepdaughter) wanted a lot more money than my partner willed them, and they were so hostile to me I became afraid. I went to an attorney and filed the original will and then gave the son-in-law my signed declination to act as co-executor so he took over. I believe he then tried to file a copy of the will but I had already filed the original and he hired an attorney to find out. I mailed a copy of my receipt to the attorney and heard no more. I have asked the son-in-law several times to know what is happening in Probate and he refuses to respond. How can I find out on my own? I want nothing more to do with these nasty, threatening people or their attorney.

Mom recently died in October 2021 this year. It was left to me and I have it for sale in escrow right now. My question is do I take the cost basis from 1973 when she bought it, 2012 when she put in my name and never told me or the day she died in 2021. I understand sale of home can also be taken care of and some improvements. But improvements would be based on when it would be considered mine on the years I listed as there is many improvements since 1973. I live in AZ my home lived in California

my mother has an estate worth $1.6M more than the oregon limit ($1M) and has alot of cash on hand. She has created a living trust but no assets have been put into it yet. my sister and I are the beneficiaries of the trust and we are wondering of estate taxes can be avoided if my mother uses some of her funds to buy into an existing LLC that my sister and I are members of with the idea that these 'buy in' funds would be excluded from oregon estate taxes. Is that possible?

My brother lives in Arizona and he has asked me to be the executioner of his will upon his death. When I looked over the draft of the will, there was nothing explicitly stating that the estate will cover my expenses related to fulfilling his wishes. I live on the East Coast and travel costs, including airline tickets and the cost for lodging while I am there in the capacity of being executor will be a significant expense for me. Does the will need to specifically state the estate will cover my costs? I do not know anyone in Arizona and I would have no other reason to go there except to take care of things after his death. I do not expect to be paid for anything except my expenses while there. Does the will need to specifically say these costs will be reimbursed by his estate?
