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

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.

Antone can establish a third-party special needs trust. But, I suggest you do so in concert with the parents to coordinate trustees and other relevant issues to save problems of unnecessary and possibly expensive duplication.
