Re: Is an Executor or Executrix allowed to enter property
The executor/executrix has permission to enter the property. It is their responsibility to do so. It is also their responsibility to secure and account for all assets including cash. As for the "reading of the will", it only exists in movies, not in real life. After a person has died the will is recorded at the local county court house and is public record for all to read.
Will contests are permissible in Pennsylvania but there must be good grounds to do so. Being unhappy with the desires of the testator are not grounds to contest a will.
