am named as contingent beneficiary and my step mom is executor. she wants me to sign a waiver of notice ? what does that mean for me?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
It means two things.  First, you agree that you do not need to know the date of the hearing and be present.  Second, it means that you agree that your stepmother should be able to administer your father's estate free of court supervision.  This means that she does need to submit an inventory but does not need the court's permission to sell, for example, your father's car and does not need to provide an accounting to the court.  A beneficiary may nonetheless request an accountign 15 months after the executor is appointed. Are you sure that a Will is being probated?  Ordinarily, beneficiaries are notified after, not before, a Will is admitted to probate.  In an intestacy, heirs are asked to sign a distributee's waiver of notice and consent to application for independent administration before the hearing.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Estate Planning lawyer at Gerald A. Bagazinski
If the house is titled as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, with all 6 heirs, you have a big problem. If one of the heirs refuses to consent in a probate proceeding, schedule it for a hearing. If the property is held as tenants in common, sue for partition.

No one is required to present a will for probate. However, if the will changes distribution in your favor, you have up to 4 years from the death to present a contesting will for probate.
