An estate must be probated in order for title to real property to pass to the heirs at law or beneficiaries of the will. You should consult with an attorney before you accept that any "statute of limitations" has passed for probating the will. The will must be examined and approved by the probate court in order to pass title to property to the beneficiaries named in the will. If the will is not allowed then an Administrator will be appointed and the property will pass according to the state laws of intestacy.

* Generally there are only one or two Executors to a Will. Executor (male) or Executrix (female.) It is odd there should be five Executors. An Executor/Executrix has the right to decline to handle the wishes of the said Will and this is the reason for basically having a back up Executor or Executrix. The group of siblings should get together and decide who will be handling the Will as Executor or Executrix. If one is chosen then they should get a fee for their trouble which is anywhere from one to four percent of the entire Estate (property, monies, etc.) and that will be up to the other siblings unless otherwise stipulated in the Will.
