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

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
The issues you are addressing are minor. You need to focus on the big picture and could use the counsel of an attorney for that (see 15 minute lawyer.com for low cost legal advise). Has your brother in law been appointed executor by the court? If not, he has no legal authority to do anything. In addition it sounds like, since the house is empty, it needs to be sold and the proceeds distributed. What is being done to make that happen?

What can we do to keep from paying all her money to the nursing home?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Is she married? If so an asset division may be possible. If not, do her assets exceed $350,000? If not, what is her monthly income and what is the value of her assets? You may wish to consult with an attorney who does elder planning. There may be options, but there may not be any. It all depends upon the facts of her specific situation.
