Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

Answered by attorney Kenneth A Prigmore (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Prigmore Law
Executors have the responsibility of protecting and properly distributing the estate of the deceased. As a beneficiary, you have the right to see the testamentary documents that include you. Demand a copy of the will, trust, and any other gifting documents. If the Executor refuses, tell them you can sue and get them without much difficulty. Executors also have the responsibility to prepare an accounting of the estate, so if he has been making equal distributions, he should be able to show what the entire estate included. Finally, if you doubt the Executor's statements and actions, you may have to sue to find out the truth. Unfortunately, this can be very stressful and expensive, so you may not want to start any action until you are sure there is a problem. Locking the house is not automatically a breach of an Executor's duties. Timing is important. It is best to demand that all beneficiaries be allowed to review the contents of the home prior to the executor's "Sweep" of the house removing valuables. It sounds like you are too late to do that. You can still demand that he escort you around the home to see what is still there. Sometimes simply retaining an attorney who will write a letter to the executor demanding an accounting and threatening suit if he fails to disclose the contents of the estate will be enough to keep things in order. Please note: Prescription medications should be destroyed, not passed on to heirs for non prescription use. This is both the law and common sense. There is no known right to inheritance of prescription medications.

Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
In NY, wills are not recorded. However, if you challenge the will, you could request prior wills in discovery. Objections need to be in a specific format.

Can you use items in an estate without permission that do not belong to you?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)

No. An Executor is a Fiduciary and owes a duty to the Court and the beneficiaries of the estate. The assets are not the executors to use.
