No. The executor must be appointed by the probate court and signs their own name as the executor of the estate. For example: " John Smith, executor of the estate of John Doe." Be sure to add that designation, especially when signing contracts on behalf of the estate, so you do not unintentionally obligate yourself personally in any transaction you carry on for the estate.

Trusts and trust law are complicated areas of law and should not be tinkered with by an unprofessional. Trusts need to be drafted and managed by a professional, especially when real property is involved. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in trust and real estate law in your jurisdiction. You should take a copy of the trust and the deed in question with you so they can be examined by the attorney. The attorney will then need to review the land records for the particular property to determine what deeds have been recorded. It will take some research to determine the status of the property.

Depends on the state law, of the state the property is located. Typically, if there is no will, or a will with no dictation of the property, then the property goes to the co-owners by default. Same with bank accounts. * The wording of the titling of real property always determines how said property can be partitioned, sold or transferred.

First, it depends on the term "house". If it was a co-op, then what you were buying were shares in a corporation and not the real estate. A purchase of a trailer home is also the purchase of personal property. Second, it is VERY likely that there is not enough information to answer this question. Sometimes the sale contract includes sale of consumer items like curtains, appliances etc. That portion of the contract would be considered a sale of goods. More than likely, in a case involving real estate you hired an attorney. Please ask the attorney to explain this. He or she will have all the facts, and is more likely to help you.

The executor has the responsibility to resolve the estate and settle debts regardless of what the next of kin want.

"In lieu of" means "instead of". If some service is ordered "in lieu of" probation then some other form of monitoring will be used such as a substance abuse program or residential commitment.

In the United Kingdom this process can take six months or more. An estate of a deceased person can not be divided up for at least the first six months after a death, this is to ensure that any person or company who may have been owed funds from the deceased persons estate has time to claim them. So really the earliest you can ever expect an inheritance in the United Kingdom is after six months, even then it will depend on how quick those looking after the estate act.

In Oregon, when a spouse dies, the surviving spouse generally has rights to inherit property under the state's intestacy laws if the deceased did not leave a will. If there is a will, the surviving spouse may still have rights, particularly if they are omitted or if the will does not provide for them adequately. Oregon also recognizes community property laws, meaning that most property acquired during the marriage is owned equally by both spouses. Additionally, the surviving spouse may have the right to claim a "spousal elective share" to ensure a minimum inheritance, regardless of the will's provisions.
