What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
Mom will states that one of the sibiling may live in the house for up to eight years after her passing,we all can agree to sell beforehand,However the sibiling is to move to downstairs apartment and rent ubove one for 600.. to b split between the other five but not the sibling living in the house(the exsecutor} she needs to pay taxes and upkeep,hence its been almost five months and that sibiling has not moved downstairs,only needed paint to b liviable, well heres the catch the house was not left in a will it was sold to the six off us unkown to us for a dollar over a year ago.
so what would be reasonable time to move less lan 500 feet away

and If it was no longer my mothers house how then in a will can she deam who can live there and for how long

there is also a car that was to be sold 2007 book for 9,800 that was to b split only five ways leaving that sibling out because she is only going to pay taxes to live there that also was tranfered into her name and has not been sold or hardly tried to be sold

If I am getting this right, your mother gifted the house to the 6 children before she passed away. Right? (Forget the stuff about being "..sold to the six off us unkown to us for a dollar over a year ago." It would be a gift, which could give all of you a capital gains tax headache if it is sold. But, that's another matter...)

If that is the case, what your mother's will says isn't relevant. You're all owners now and will have to battle out the arrangements amongst yourselves.

If the executor is not doing her job with the assets that are actually part of the probate estate, petition the court to force her to act or to be removed as executor.
