No. Not unless that power was granted in the Will. Otherwise, an executor is appointed in an estate in order to avoid such types of interference by the heirs. The court appointed executor has the legal authority to carry out the provisions in the Will and according to the probate laws for any property not mentioned in the Will. The heirs generally have no say in those matters.
The heirs cannot tell the executor what to do. If they have a complaint regarding the handling of the estate they must file it with the court and request a ruling.The heirs cannot tell the executor what to do.

No. If an Executor takes out a loan it has nothing to do with the estate he is executing.
None of the debts are the responsibility of the heirs. The debts are the responsibility of the estate. The executor must settle all, or as many as possible based on the assets of the estate, before they can distribute any of the the estate to the heirs.
The executor is required to execute the terms of the Will, or follow the laws of intestacy (if there was no Will), not comply with the wishes of the heirs.
The executor is the person responsible for the estate. That includes making sure the property is sold for a proper amount.
No. An executor is the person who has been officially appointed to settle the estate. The executor does not answer to the heirs and they do not direct the actions taken by the executor. They do not need the permission or involvement of the heirs. Although the executor may, at their discretion, encourage the interested parties to express an opinion regarding the sale, the executor has the legal power and authority to make the final decision.
Only you know what you want them to know.
There is no problem if the debts of the estate have been paid and the executor is the sole heir. However, if there are other heirs who want to sell the property and take their share of the proceeds the executor must buy out the interests of the other heirs. Otherwise, the heirs are entitled to a sale of the property and can file a petition for partition if the executor will not act.
An executor is obligated to keep heirs informed of court proceedings of an estate. Information should be sent by first class mail or certified return receipt for proof of notification.
The executor has the duty to preserve the estate in all aspects, including making money for it. The heirs' consent is not necessary.
Normally yes all heirs are responsiably, unless one of them is appointed the executor the estate.
Yes, if the property was owned by the decedent and the Will provides that it be sold. In that case, the executor must carry out the provisions in the Will unless the provision is changed by a court order. It is assumed that there are other heirs besides the ones who paid the taxes on that property. The heirs who paid the taxes can file a claim against the estate for the amount they paid in taxes and they can offer to buy the property from the estate if they wish to keep it. They should speak with the attorney who is handling the estate.
