(2) Under the facts of your case, where the administrator failed to notify the Service of his appointment prior to the Service making the two refunds, was the Service justified in issuing the refunds to the girlfriend (on behalf of the decedent's children), are there defects in the girlfriend's filings, and can defects in the girlfriend's filings now be corrected to retroactively validate the refunds? (3) If the girlfriend (on behalf of the decedent's children) is the heir entitled to the estate, and no creditor has a claim on the estate, can the Service set off the refunds made to the girlfriend against the administrator's claim, viewing the administrator's claim as made on behalf of the heir?
