Your situation is too complex to answer on this type of a site. I suggest you consult with an experienced estate attorney at once. However, if a distributee is awarded money and then the Executor/Administrator discovers there was more tax due and seeks a repayment of part of what was received, that is usually acceptable and enforceable. However, because they took the money from another estate, that is where it can get very questionable and why you need to speak to an attorney right away.
