If the beneficiaries of an estate want to remove the executor, they will first need a very good reason for doing so. In most jurisdictions, it will require a court action. It is best to retain a lawyer to do this.

An executor has no authority until the will has been submitted for probate and they have been appointed by the court as executor.

If the beneficiary has been living on the premises prior to the death of the owner, the executor should discuss the issue with the attorney who is handling the estate and, perhaps, negotiate a written agreement with the tenant regarding the payment of expenses. This issue must be decided on a case by case basis taking into consideration all the details of each particular situation. The executor would have the authority to remove someone living in the home of the decedent but may need to follow the state laws regarding the removal of a tenant.

Other written agreements may supercede the will. Otherwise you can evict them with 30 days notice.

If the power to sell real estate was granted in the will then the executor has the power to sell it. However, if ALL the beneficiaries agree that the property should be retained they should insist the property not be sold. Remember that the beneficiaries own the real estate. If the executor proceeds to try to sell the property the beneficiaries should petition the court to review the matter ASAP.
