Yes, the executor has that ability. They are responsible for the property, including who has the use of it. They have to maintain the property and pay taxes and keep it in repair.

Can a executor allow someone to stay in house?

Yes, an executor can allow someone to stay in a house that is part of the estate, but their authority is typically governed by the terms of the will and state laws. The executor must consider the best interests of the estate and its beneficiaries when making such decisions. If the person staying in the house has a legal right to do so, such as being a spouse or tenant, the executor may be more inclined to allow it. However, any arrangements should be documented to avoid disputes later on.

If a person leaves a house to someone in a will can the beneficiary move in right away or have to wait for the probate court to approve the will?

Not only does the beneficiary have to wait for the probate of the will, but will most likely have to wait until the executor is satisfied that the house does not need to be sold to pay any debts of the estate. Until administration of an estate is complete, the executor has the right to possession of all estate property, including the house. If the executor wants to, he/she can let the beneficiary in the house. But even there, the person appointed as executor has no power to allow that until the will has been probated. This is because that person has no power to act as an executor until the will is probated.


Can a brother contest his sister for selling their parent's house and not sharing the profits with him?

That depends on lots of factors. If she is the executor of the estate , and the house is not explicitly addressed in a will, she can sell it and distribute the proceeds according to the will. You can always contest the actions of the executor. If she was left the house by terms of a will, you are not entitled to any of the proceeds. If you and she were left the house together, then you are entitled to a portion of the proceeds, and to a say in whether or not the house is sold in the first place.


Your brother passed away his home goes to mom she will renunciate to siblings do you have to wait to renunciate to sell the house?

The executor of the estate can sell the house at any time. The renunciation really deals with who gets the money from the sale. The executor can also transfer the house to someones name, but they have to insure all the debts are paid. Consult an attorney in your area for details.
