Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Executor sold estate without other beneficiaries consent

Can an executor sell an estate without other beneficiaries consent? My mom gave us a copy of her will a couple of years ago which specifically indicated that upon her death,none of the children could sell the estate without consent from all the beneficiaries. Yesterday (6/18/07) I learnt that my brother sold the property a couple of months ago and placed the money in a fixed deposit account. He refuses to divulge any information. We live in different countries.Do we (my sibling and myself) have any legal recourse?

Re: Executor sold estate without other beneficiaries consent

No attorney can answer your questions just based on the information provided. I would need to ask a lot of questions. What country is the property located in, where was the Will probated?, just to start with.

I do this kind of work. If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.
