My mother just past away a year ago. She had a will do we need to go threw probate?

Hello,

My Mother past away a year ago, and she left my sister and I the executors of the estate. The estate had one house paid for worth 160,000 to 300,000 when market is good,one motor home worth about 6,000 and one car worth about 4,000. There is other house hold items in the house aswell. I have 2 sisters and one other brother a total of four kids, two of which are the executers of the estate. My mother had a will, and my question is, will we have to go threw probate, and if I dont want to sell my mothers house can I be forced by my of siblings. Does my other sister and other brother have any say into the estate if they are not executers.

Executors perform the wishes of the deceased by their requests in the will. It all depends on how well you four get along. Be very open and express your feelings and reasons why to your siblings. If you want the house, offer to purchase it for a cost that is fair. If you do not get along and the want the money, give them a share and buy the house. Probate isn't the best way too go and could take years. With four kids, it isn't the easiest way to go. If any lawyers are brought in, then probate is the alternative to reasoning this all out. It can be ugly or easier than most. It all depends on the communication of you four and the willingness to work it all out.

All estates need to go through probate. You should get a Probate Attorney, it will cost you about $2,500.00
As to what can be split up and who has the say, it depends upon how the will reads. The Attorney will be able to answer all your questions. Generally, the executors decide how things will be divided, but again - it depends how the will reads.

As executor you are usually entitled to a small fee.

What does the will say in regards to who receives what? If you want to keep the house you'll have to buy the interests of the others.

You should go through probate in all likely hood you'll have to sell all the properties.
