I agree with Bob that the remaining heirs can and should put pressure on the Executrix to act properly and do things correctly. She cannot use estate assets for her personal benefit without equalizing value between her and the other heirs. It also does not seem fair, if she is doing it, that the estate may be paying house bills (real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.) while she is keeping it off the market because she wants to buy it. I suggest that you and your other sister consider retaining your own attorney to oversee things and keep them straight. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not to be considered as legal advice and/or as creating an attorney-client relationship.
