Appointment is not the same as unlimited authority
Review the filed petition, court order, issued Letters, bond conditions, will, and later court orders rather than relying on a verbal description.
Full authority still has procedure
A full-authority sale can require Notice of Proposed Action and compliance with statutory duties. An objection or special order can change the path.
Limited authority may require court confirmation
Court-supervised sales have technical notice, appraisal, bid, reporting, confirmation, and timing requirements that should be reviewed by qualified professionals.
Frequently asked questions
Can a named executor sign before Letters issue?
Being named in a will does not by itself establish current signing authority. The controlling documents and applicable procedure must be reviewed.
