Speak directly with an attorney. You will either have to go through probate or a summary probate to transfer the land and a probate attorney can help you do that.

Can I get control over my father's estate if I live in a different estate than he does?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do. Is your father alive or dead? If he is dead, was there a Will? Are there other beneficiaries/heirs? Is anyone going to contest your appointment? If not, then you can certainly file to become personal representative. I have handled MANY estates where the PRs are from out of state. It is generally not difficult. If your father is still alive, is he competent? If not, then the only way to get control would be to go through probate and be appointed guardian/conservator. This is not complicated, but it can be expensive. Feel free to send me additional facts and I will try to provide you more information.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Generally the heirs don't decide if the house is sold unless somehow it is titled in all their names. If is a specific gift and the will requires it be transferred to all six, and one does not want to sell, that person can buy out the other 5. There of course is always a partition Acton. If the will does not specifically designate the house going to all six , the proper course of action is the personal representative of the estate has the property sold .
