How can an unsigned last will be validated?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
He can sign and have it witnessed, but both of you should review the provision to make sure they are still valid, 1998 was an long time ago. The "last" will is the one that counts, no matter how long ago it was signed. A new will invalidates, and should specifically state, it invalidates the older ones.

Can an executor sell real property if one of three equal heirs doesn't agree with the sale or sale price?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Executor cannot sell unless executor first send Notice of Proposed Action to all potentially affected beneficiaries, and none of them object within 15 days; or executor gets court order, also with full notice. Be sure to let title company and/or real estate broker know that this property is in the estate and notice has not been sent. If it goes to court, essentially the court will conduct an auction, and any overbidders will get opportunity to buy. Consider consulting a lawyer.

How can he sell house and contents before paying me?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
There is not really enough information to go on. It would sound like your brother simply needs to pay you $30k. There are a number of reasons why he may not have done so, as of yet. If your brother is personal representative, then he has control of the estate and the assets. But he is required to follow the terms of the Will, to the extent that he can do so. That does not mean that he needs to pay you before doing anything else, however.
