A: You have this posted under "Contracts," but it's possible it could be something larger than a simple contract for the sale of a house, since you mention an executor. This could be a situation where you might want to consider a consult with an attorney who handles estates, wills, and trusts. There are attorneys on this forum who are knowledgeable in this area (under the categories of "Probate" and "Estate Planning"). You could repost under those headings, and if you don't receive a response, you could consider reaching out to attorneys. Good luck
