How can executor of an estate buy out other family members on real estate?

First, the estate must be probated and the executor must be appointed by the court. Then there are different ways the executor can purchase the real estate. They could petition the court for a license to sell the real estate with the executor as the purchaser after a fair market offer has been accepted by the beneficiaries. The executor would need to obtain the assents of all the other beneficiaries to the petition. The court would likely allow such a transfer. Another method would be for the executor could wait until the probate procedure has been completed and then purchase the property from the beneficiaries who inherited it and are now the legal title holders. Either way, the executor should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate to make certain the transfer is done properly and title is passed legally.
