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

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
The issues you are addressing are minor. You need to focus on the big picture and could use the counsel of an attorney for that (see 15 minute lawyer.com for low cost legal advise). Has your brother in law been appointed executor by the court? If not, he has no legal authority to do anything. In addition it sounds like, since the house is empty, it needs to be sold and the proceeds distributed. What is being done to make that happen?
