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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Marco Caviglia (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Marco Caviglia, Esq.
An executor has a personal fiduciary obligation to carry out the wishes of the testator, and is responsible for marshaling the assets of the estate, among many other obligations. He has a right to secure any of the estate assets, which in the case of the house and its contents, might mean locking it up if others want to get in there when he is not there for obvious reasons. Presumably, the house has been put up for sale for division of the proceeds as the will may devise. If you have continued or other concerns, you should consult with a probate attorney in your location.
