Hello. The executor has to open a probate estate in the county where the owner lived prior to owner's death. Once the probate estate is opened, the executor will have power through the court as the court-appointed executor to sell the property.

The personal representative has to open a probate estate to clear the title in the property to the heirs. There are no executors in Florida. The sale of the property will likely require a court order.
