Not if you have a reasonable reason to sell. Perhaps they would like to buy out your share and keep the house?

If you are currently personal representative of a Florida estate, then you are also represented by legal counsel in this matter. You should talk to your attorney about this matter. He or she may want to consider getting court approval for any intended sale.
