Re: real estate

You should cheerfully pay a lawyer in the state where this land is being probated to review the will and other documents associated with this question. There are too many variables to provide an intelligent answer on the internet. But, if the property is in Indiana, and your husband is the executor, then your husband must do what the will says. Verbal instructions in Indiana are difficult to enforce. If the will doesn't say what is to be done, then the property can be distributed to the beneficiaries. If there are multiple beneficiaries, and one of them wants to sell, then the other beneficiares don't have much choice except to buy him out or go along with the sale. Good luck.

Re: real estate

Please repost with a question. Also, the words turned over is rather confusing, please use the actual terminolgy in the will in posting the question.

Thank you
