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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
You should obtain the services of a probate litigation attorney. The executor does have a duty to gather and protect the assets. If you were left out of the will, you may file a petition to be determined as an heir to receive benefits as an heir.

How do I know if I have an existing will?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
You could make a new Will.  A new Will revokes any pre-existing Will. But unless the divorce decree gives an ex-spouse a right to part of your estate, she has none.
