    Are you going to be responsible for the remainder of the medical bills? If you can find an attorney to take the case he will probably want 40% of any settlement.

    If you know this is happening you can file in the probate court for an accounting. It is not unusual in this market for a house to sell at less than FMV. Why don't you offer the FMV? What do the others involved say? If you all ask the court to appoint another PR, they probably will.

    Can I be made to pay my ex twice?

    It is unlikely he can be made to pay for college but that is very state specific. I assume that he wants the 16,000 again for his share of the house.
