If property is left to a beneficiary in fee simple, the executor generally cannot sell it without the beneficiary's consent. A fee simple interest means the beneficiary has full ownership rights, including the right to occupy or sell the property. The executor's role is to manage the estate and distribute assets according to the will, but they do not have the authority to sell property that has already been transferred in fee simple to a beneficiary. However, if the will allows for it or if the estate needs to settle debts, the executor may seek court approval to sell the property.
