Re: Will

The executor of a will has the power to sell estate property, including a home that is part of an estate and to require that the occupants vacate the premises.

And, if the will at issue in your particular siuation has been filed with the local probate court, you can go there to inspect it since once it's been filed it becomes a public document.
