Can an executor sell property without beneficiary approval?
Yes, executors typically have the authority to sell estate property without getting approval from beneficiaries, as long as the sale is necessary to pay debts, taxes, or distribute assets according to the will. However, executors must act in the estate's best interests and follow proper legal procedures. Some states require court approval for certain high-value sales, and beneficiaries can challenge sales they believe are improper or below fair market value.
