You haven't provided enough details.Have the heirs requested that the executor sell.Was the executor instructed to sell in the will.Was a license to sell issued by the probate court.Is the estate settled.If the executor was ordered to sell and hasn't made arrangements to market the property then you should complain to the probate court to compel them to carry out their duty or ask they be replaced. If the probate process is completed and the executor was under no obligation to sell the property, title has vested in the heirs and they can sell the property.
