If I inherit my family's house after the death of both parents, can the executor sell the home without first informing me and getting my written consent?

Does anyone know of a case where someone's inherited property was sold without the heir knowing about the sale, due to the executor pretending that the next of kin cannot be found?

If you inherit the house',It has to be in the will", if it is in will you own it, no one can sell it with out your permission.

The executor can not sell the house unless he is listed as an heir, as I was the executor would have to have a shyster in his pocket. If you are to be the heir have your parents change the names on the deed to include you.

I suppose in the context that those listed in the will are not available, the executor will have to take some action.

However, they are otherwise bound to the terms of the will...they're not there to liquidate the property, but to carry out the last wishes of the deceased.

The executor is meant to carry out the will. They cannot just do with it as they please unless the person inheriting is defined as incapable to handle the estate. If said person is a minor, then it is held in a trust until the person comes of age. Yes, there are cases where it happens, there are loopholes that exectuors can sneak through, but that doesn't make it legal.

Was there a will specifically stating that you inherit the house? If not, the executor could sell it to satisfy outstanding debt.
