Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Kentucky

My father passed in 2014. He had a will and had several properties; some free and clear and some with liens. IF THE ESTATE HAS NOT BEEN SETTLED YET can one of the heirs in the will legally get a loan from the bank and pay it ( LIEN) off under fathers name and put property in their name?

I doubt the heir has acted lawfully from what you have indicated unless the particular heir was appointed executor or administrator; even then, the property should be placed in the name of the estate.

If you think something fishy may be going on then you should really have an attorney review your situation. Most attorneys will offer a free consultation. let me know if my office can help.

Thanks and good luck!
