In state of tn can executor sell real property without the consent of all beneficiaries?

The answer is a frustrating one...it depends. In Tennessee, real property transfers immediately at death to the heirs-at-law or beneficiaries as named in a valid unrevoked will. In most cases, it is necessary to obtain the consent/signatures of all heirs or beneficiaries to the real estate under the will before it can be sold. However, it is possible to petition the court to bring that real property into the estate and thus under the control of the executor. It would wise to consult with an attorney in your county that regularly practices in the area of estates and probate in order to assist you with this matter.


What do you do when a property is in an estate and one of the beneficiaries quit claims it to themselves with the consent of the executor?

It is likely that the deed is invalid. There are statutory requirements to transfer legal title to real estate from the estate of a decedent. The estate must be probated for legal title to pass to the heirs. You should contact the attorney who is handling the estate or consult with a probate attorney if an estate has not been filed with the probate court.

The estate has to be completely inventoried. Then an independent appraiser has to provide a valuation of the assets. Once that is done, the executor can reach an agreement with the other beneficiaries. At that point he can petition the court with a buyout offer. If there is any feeling of something being inappropriate, consult a probate attorney.
