Yes, the executor can sell the house. It will become a part of the estate and will escheat to the state if there are no beneficiaries.

There is no requirement that property be sold. However, the debts have to be resolved and that may require liquidation to obtain the necessary funds.

How do you sell land that is inherited?

When a person dies owning real estate, their estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs legally. The estate must be probated whether the decedent died with or without a will. The property can be sold by the estate during the probate procedure once the debts of the decedent have been satisfied. If the property is not sold by the estate, it becomes the property of the heirs once the probate procedure has been completed. The heir(s) can convey the property by deed, citing the probate case as their source of title.
