The will was not probated, they said “we agreed” but there’s no document. It’s OK that the will was not probated, but I want to know if she can negotiate a sale without my permission, 20 years after my mother passed. Perhaps the question would be, what can the executrix of a will do with the inherited assets 20 plus years after the death of the person who created the will. Does an executrix have sole power to negotiate a sale of land without all inheritor’s approval? I realize that no matter what the law is, I would have to sue my sister for recourse, which is not possible or desirable as I don’t want to spend the money to sue her and know that my mother wouldn’t want me to do it either. So she gets to do whatever she wants to with the land we both inherited. “Still have sibling rivalry after all these years”. Ugh!!!
We did sell it, and my signature was required, although my sister didn’t think it was required. You can sell the land, (to Mr. Attorney) even if the will was not probated.
Of course, I do not depend on YA for legal advice. I just wanted opinions.
Thanks for the answers. Interesting.
