Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
A decedent left a piece of property to three heirs. In probate, executor wished to sell the property. Other heirs made a written offer to buy the executor's share with cash. They later revoked the contract and forced a sale of the property at a significant loss. Probate closed. If the breach of contract still falls under the four year statute of limitations can the beneficiary file cliam for financial sum lost after the contract was broken for the amount of what the original contract offered minus the final net sale price?

No. Any cause of action against the "other heirs" belongs to the estate and therefore only the executor can sue the revoking heirs.
