If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Yes. If the house is still in probate, the ordinary and usual way to sell is for the personal representative (administrator) to petition the court for approval of the sale. Consent of all 6 not required. If it already is owned of record by 6 owners, they can file a suit for partition, and the court will order sale.

Do I have to pay for my late mother's medical bills if I am the executor of her estate?

Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
If your mother left behind any assets (bank accounts, insurance policy proceeds, etc.), those monies are to be used to pay her debts. If she did not, then the estate is insolvent and will be unable to pay her creditors. It's unclear from your question whether or not your mother left behind a last will & testament, but it's a good idea for you to consult with a local attorney familiar with estate planning for more guidance.

Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Your lawyer is right, your Letters Testamentary should be sufficient. Banks live according to their own laws, however, and don't give a rip for the laws enacted by the legislature of the State of Oregon. Your choice is to pay a lot of money to have your lawyer argue this with Bank, or pay for another death certificate to give to bank. Get the death certificate.
