You are sole beneficiary to gr fathers estate but the executor wants to sell all property because you are 23 yrs old?

The estate must be probated in order for the title to the property to pass to you. There may be a reason why the executor wants to sell the property. The property may need to be sold to pay debts of the estate, or, there may be a provision in the will that directs the executor to sell the property and pay over the proceeds to you. If the property does not need to be sold to pay debts then you are the owner of the property. You are an adult and can make your own decisions. You should speak with the attorney who is handling the estate ASAP and make it clear that you do not want your property sold.
