Tennessee
My husband's brother asked to be appointed as executor of their mother's estate. Since that time, he has refused to sell her house, or even allow us onto the property without his presence (he won't have a copy of the key made). Her will, which has been accepted and validated calls for her house to be sold immediately, and proceeds split between the two, but he refuses to get a realtor, insisting he will "sell it myself." He is a convicted felon, who also has a drug possession conviction on his record. We are looking to get his executorship overturned and my husband appointed so that everything can actually get sold and settled.
How hard will this be, and how much will it cost?
