Would appreciate advice re the following situation:
A residence was left to several beneficiaries. Two executors were nominated. One of these is also a beneficiary, the other is not.
The executor-beneficiary wants to sell the residence, against the wishes of the remaining beneficiaries.
Is it possible for the executor-beneficiary to force a sale of the house without the agreement of the remaining beneficiaries? Can the second executor prevent this?
The will does not specify that the residence is to be sold & proceeds distributed; all expenses/debts can be paid without necessitating a sale.
Any input much appreciated.
footnote: originally two executors were appointed who were not to be beneficiaries of the will; the executor who is also a beneficiary is the daughter of this executor and was appointed (the will was rewritten), following the death of her parent.
