Where a specific legacy incurs costs during administration which the estate initially pays out, but requires reimbursement from the legatee, do the following:
Solution:
1. Record the expenses in PP as usual
2. When the legatee repays those expenses, you would record it as a negative admin expense. (i.e. put a minus sign in front of the repaid value)
3. Show where the repayment money was received (e.g. your client account).
