The executor has specific powers under the laws in every jurisdiction, once they have been appointed by the probate court. The testator can grant additional powers such as the power to sell real property without a license from the court.

Can an executor sell a property without bringing the trust to court?

You need to check your details. An executor doesn't manage a trust. If property is in a trust it is not part of an estate and it's managed by a trustee. The instrument that created the trust sets forth the powers of the trustee even when the trust is set forth in a will. Those powers usually include the power to sell real estate. Generally, an executor cannot sell property unless they have filed the will for probate. Then, generally, to sell the property the executor must be given that power in the will or issued a license to sell real estate by the court.
