necessary and reasonable expenses of maintaining and educating minors who are entitled to
distribution therein, and who have no legal guardian; and, upon any partial or final settlement
by him, the probate court must allow him credit for such expenses. To the extent the expenses
are not within the family allowance, the expenses shall be charged against the shares of such
minors and deducted therefrom on any distribution of the estate. (b) An executor or administrator
defraying such expenses must file with his account for a settlement a separate account of
the amounts paid therefor on account of each of such minors accompanied by proper vouchers,
showing the amounts and for what expended. (Code 1876, §§2644, 2645; Code 1886, §§2159,
