AnswerThe Executor has the right to sell the home, but, must contact all Heirs to see if they agree and give one of them a chance to buy the home if they so choose as long as it's at market value. (Be sure the house taxes are up to date first.) The money from the sale of the house will be put into the Estate, and then Probate will start. Probate makes sure all personal/property taxes are paid and all creditors, hospital bills, funeral costs, etc. are paid out in full. What is left is the Estate and should be divided by the instructions the deceased left in their Will.

Once the Probate is completed (approx. 8 months to a year in Canada) then a lawyer will be sure all is legal and he will give the checks to the Heirs.

If the Heirs know approximately how much they will get out of the Will they are free to take a copy of that Will and take it a bank and take out a loan for as much as their inheritance will bare. When they get the inheritance, and if they are smart they'll pay their debt off in full. No monies can be touched until the IRS and creditors are satisfied and Probate has passed.

What if executor never divided the will asets?

If the executor never divided the assets, find out why and give your definition of never. Frequently, assets are not divided for a period of 9 months or a little more. If the executor has given the final report to the probate court and then does not divide the assets, you may have a reason to complain. After you have checked with the executor, you might need to check with a lawyer.

Can a child of a deceased claim the property from other children because that child lived with the deceased?

There's some wiggle-room in estates, depending on whether the executor needs to file the will. For example, a living spouse may choose not to file the will with the probate court. However, if the Executor must file the will, more rules apply. In most situations within families, the Executor allows children (minors and adult children) to remove the child's own possessions and a few keepsake type items, especially if the executor is aware that the deceased wanted a certain child to have something in particular. BUT, the Executor is also responsible to the Court once a Will is filed for probate. The executor has the responsibility to "oversee" the contents and arrange for / take an inventory. Anything in the house, NOT owned by the children, should be listed in the inventory. The executor/executrix also 'advertises' for debtors/creditors to submit their bills or money due, and is responsible for listing each debt, who is owed, who was paid, and all monies due to the estate. The total of debts after being paid is subtracted from the total estate's "worth". Every cent / dollar must be listed in the accounting. From the balance, the executor/executrix I believe can take a small fee for doing the job; ask at the Clerk of Courts for the exact amount allowed. After the sale of real property and personal property, then the remainder of the estate (in dollars/cents) is divided per the will's instructions. If you are unsure whether you are mandated to file the Will, or unsure of how the estate's personal property is to be "divided" per the will and at what point it should be divided -- and how to calculate an "equal" division -- I urge you to consult an attorney. Internet websites cannot give legal advice, nor do we know your State's laws.
