Based on the facts described in your inquiry, a personal representative may sell estate property, pay estate expenses, hire professionals, and perform other duties so long as such actions are consistent with the last will, state law, and fiduciary responsibilities of the position.

Also since you stated co -personal representative - I would have to assume the other personal representative is in agreement?
