How does one stop a court proceeding?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Ask your attorney. If you don't have an attorney, get one. This is way too complicated for a novice to handle on their own.

Can the executor change the locks of a house if it was not written in the will?

Sharon M. Siegel
Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel
Estate Planning lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
Changing the locks would not be something that would not be a specific power in the will. He as Executor is charged with protecting the estate assets. It sounds to me like he is using the title of Executor to control you and this is common. He should allow you inside, but can legally change the lock, unless you were living there. If you have personal property there, advise him in writing ASAP and make a demand for it. Good luck.
