A Kangaroo court (?) ---------- You are likely thinking of a "Moot Court", a simulated court proceeding used in law schools and other scholarly events as a teaching tool. There are "Mock Trials" that would also be a training or pre-trial preparation activity whereby the "court" would have no legal authority.

"Kangaroo Court" is a term used to describe a court proceeding where the accused is only being put through the trial process for purposes of "red tape" or appearances; when the outcome has been decided in advance, and the proper due process of the law is not actually made available to the accused or applied in the situation. It is also known as being "railroaded" through the system in a sham of a trial.

Is there a form for getting approval from siblings to sell real estate as executor of the estate?

There are assent forms that should be available at the probate court in case you need to apply for a license. Generally, an executor needs a license from the court to sell the real estate or the power granted in the will to sell real estate without license of the court. Filing assents from all the heirs, if you don't have power in the will, will make the application for a license go more quickly. The rules may vary from state to state.
