Can an executor allow a person to put a mobile home on an unsettled estate?
My grandparents passed away about 17 years ago. For whatever reason the executor of the estate has done nothing in terms of overseeing the maintenance of or made an attempt to settle it. I know, it should have been done a very long time ago. That aside there is just 21 acres to be divided among 5 heirs. 1 heir decided she was putting a trailer on the property. the executor ok’d it but my mother and aunt were contacted and asked prior. They said no, then the executor just skipped the last heir and done it anyway.

An executor of an estate has great pwoer under your state law that allows him or her to act. Now, he or she has to act "in the best interest of the estate." It does not sound here as if that is happening and the beneficiaires must now seek help to either remove him claiming that he has breached his duties, or to force him to account and move the matter along. Get legal help. Good luck.
