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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
The Personal Representative has the right to change the locks and limit or prevent access to the property. In fact, he is *required* to secure the assets and safeguard them. So he acted wisely in doing this, knowing that others had keys. If he had not done this and someone had gone in and removed items, HE could potentially be liable for this. It sounds like he is doing everything properly, at this point. He has a job to do that your parents entrusted him with.

Can I refuse to inherit a house with an underwater mortgage?

Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
You can refuse the inheritance. In some cases you might have to file a disclaimer within 9 months. Regardless, the debt responsibility is not yours, unless you co-signed on the note. Often people inherit the homes, rent them while the foreclosure process is going on, and then abandon them with no liability. You should review your specific circumstances with an estate planning lawyer who is familiar with foreclosure defense.

Uncle's Estate

Answered by attorney Lee David Auerbach
Estate Planning lawyer at Auerbach Law Group, P.C.
The short answer is that a fresh set of eyes may be a good thing.  There are many ways to deal with the on going commission income, but more facts would be needed. Partial on going distributions are the preferred method of addressing the problem.  Lee David Auerbach Auerbach Law Group, P.C.
