As the executor in my father's estate and there are disgruntled family members, as long as I am following the

law, do I have the final say so as to whether property in the estate is sold, per the estate attorney I do. My question further is can those disgruntled family members come back at me in other ways?

My advice is to turn the whole thing over to an attorney who is experiences in estates. Then, when family members have issues, you can direct them to the attorney to answer their questions.

It will cost more money than self-administration, but it will save you some headaches in the long run.

As long as you are going by the letter of the law their is nothing legally the y can do.I was faced with the same situation and finally turned the whole thing over to my lawyer to handle and it was well worth it and not that expensive .....hope this helps

As long as your father's will follows the rules of inclusion, etc. They should have no recourse, as long as you are following the law.

That is the exact situation why my will has this phrase in it.

"My faith and confidence has been placed with Lacey (my executor), and my instructions will be followed as written. If anyone tries to contest this will in any way, then they will be left nothing, and their share will be given to the Church designated in this will."

That is not the exact wording (it is slightly more legally worded) but that is the impact. My opinion is that it is my stuff, and my wishes. You want to betray me, and you can have nothing. I suggest everyone puts this in their will.
