I live in my father's house and he passed away and the will says it has to be sold and divided between all of us can the executor tell me i have to move out befor the house is sold?

Generally, when a person dies owning real property, title to that property passes automatically to the heirs although the estate must be probated in order for title to pass legally. As one of several heirs you have the right to the use and possession of the whole property until it is sold. The executor has been instructed to sell the property, however, the heirs still own it. You may be required to pay for the utilities you use. You should be extra careful to maintain the property in good order and not do any damage. You may want to consult with a local attorney to confirm your rights under the laws in your jurisdiction.

My grandmother recently passed away. I am trying to do a quitclaim deed for the property that she left behind. She did not have a will but she had always said that the property would be mine?

You cannot "do a deed" since you do not own the property. Her estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to her heirs legally. Since she didn't leave a will her estate will be distributed to all her heirs at law according to your state laws of intestacy. You can check your state at the related question link. You should consult an attorney who specializes in probate or at least visit the probate court.You cannot "do a deed" since you do not own the property.

Can land be surveyed without all heirs agreeing?

The actual act of surveying a piece of property can be conducted at anytime. It sounds as if the DIVISION of the property among the heirs is going to be in dispute. It sounds as if either the Executor of the Estate OR the Probate Court may have ordered the survey in order to determine an equitable split of the property among the named heirs.
