If there is no will then there is no executor. If there is no will then the court will appoint an Administrator for the estate and the Administrator will have the power to collect and inventory the property, pay debts and creditors, distribute the remaining estate and sell the real estate if they apply for a license from the court to do so. The law will direct who will get the remaining assets as the legal next-of-kin and how much each will get.
