You can use the funds to pay any final bills, including court costs, lawyer fees and, eventually, the estate's beneficiaries. Keep track of your time and expenses. As executor, you are entitled to reasonable compensation for your time, so record how long you spend on estate-related tasks.

If accounts have not been passed after two years, a beneficiary can again apply to the court to require passing of the executor's accounts. The executor will need to explain why the estate has not yet been settled.

You can't transfer title to the will and sell the home without probate. That can't be done if the will is contested. Assuming the will is uncontested the executor will eventually be granted a probate order that allows that person to transfer the title of the home.

Among those assets will be the real estate and the probate referee will appraise the real estate. If the executor can sell the property for more than 90 percent of its appraised value then they do not need to get the permission of the beneficiaries or of the court.

Ohio law protects you in the transaction In some cases, the real estate agent will represent you as his/her client; in other instances you may be working with the agent as a customer. In either event, the law protects buyers and sellers with required disclosures and forms prior to your purchase.

Gather all relevant information from your neighbors, your agent, and even the sellers' agent. You must put your lawyer through depositions (interviews of relevant witnesses). And gather evidence demonstrating that the seller knew about the problem.
