Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Trinidad and Tobago

Hi, my grand mother died many years ago. My sister is the executor. She, along with her 3 siblings (myself included ) are named beneficiaries. The deed was assented. It states that to use beneficiaries in fee simple as tenants-in-common. The property is up for sale. Do all the beneficiaries have to sign upon the sale or is it just the executor?

The short answer is yes all the named beneficiaries are the owners and must sign the deed of conveyance.

Once the property had been assented the name beneficiaries became the owners of the property. The executor's function concerning that property comes to an end. The new owners must now convey however anyone can sign on someone's behalf by virtue of power of attorney if deeded.
