Do all heirs have to sign?
All of the heirs must sign. The only way to get around a deadlock like this is to have the succession representative sell the house.
Can an executor force the sale of a property?
Can an executor sell the property of a deceased estate? Yes. Executors can sell a house after getting their Grant of Probate. Many properties from deceased estates are hence sold at auction even if a private treaty may be more appropriate for the market.
Can you step down from being an executor?
Executors. An Executor is appointed when making a Will. Even though they are appointed, an Executor can (with two exceptions) choose to step down if they wish, even if they have agreed with the deceased during their lifetime to act.
How hard is it to have an executor removed?
In most jurisdictions, proof of the executor’s gross mismanagement of estate assets, misconduct, incompetence or a conflict of interest may be enough to justify why they should be removed from their role. If enough evidence of impropriety is provided, then the judge will excuse the executor from handling the estate.
Does the executor of a will have the final say?
No, the Executor does not have the final say but can petition the courts when an estate matter arises that calls for a sale of a property, for example, that best suits the Testator of the will and all the beneficiaries.
