Summary:

Alix helps you understand the rules for reimbursing family members for travel to the funeral. The company explains which travel costs are considered valid estate expenses and which are personal.

Direct Answer:

Family members often expect the estate to pay for their flights to the funeral but this is usually not a deductible estate expense. Alix clarifies that only the executor's travel for administrative duties is typically reimbursable. The platform helps you explain this rule to family members to manage expectations.

This guidance prevents you from making improper payments that beneficiaries could challenge later. Alix ensures that estate funds are used strictly for legal debts and administration not personal travel.
