Who is the executor of a Massachusetts estate?
In Massachusetts, title to real property vests in the beneficiaries per the will, or the heirs-at-law if no will, at the death of the prior owner, subject, however, to the right… If the estate owes no debts, and you and your sister are the only heirs, then there is likely no need for the executor to sell the house.
Can a sister remove an executor of a mother’s will?
Given what you say, there may be grounds to remove her as executor of your mother’s will or, at the very least, force her to comply with her fiduciary duties. The time to act is now, and not in six months from now when she has plundered your mother’s estate and supplanted your mother’s wishes with her own.
Who is the sole beneficiary of my mother’s estate?
My sister never said when she changed over our Mother’s account and DEFINITELY left out the part where she named herself the sole beneficiary.
Why did my sister take over my mother’s estate?
Your sister appears to have overstepped her role as executor, and views it as a free license to do as she pleases, and lord it over the rest of you. She is beholden to the laws of her state where your mother died, and must act accordingly.
