Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

Re: sale of deceaded home

The executor is bound by the provisions of the will. Unless the home is specifically given to a named person in the will, the executor may sell the house to create liquid assets in the estate. If no realtor is involved in selling the house, yes, it would be a "For Sale By Owner", because the executor has the power to offer the house for sale and to convey it. "FSBO" usually refers to transactions that do not involve realtors, but you are right to question if an executor has the power to offer the house for sale. The executor does have a fiduciary obligation to the beneficiaries under the will to obtain the best possible price for the house.
