Can we evict a tenant as Landlords and Heirs?

We are sole heirs of a property inherited from our father, which we chose to never probate (not illegal in NY). We have continued to rent the property, titling ourselves as Landlords/Executors on the Leases (Executors named by Will not probate). We are "owners" as tenant-in-common as per Will. We may need to evict a tenant and would like to know if we will have a problem presenting the Lease as titled to the Court due to the property being unprobated. My understanding is that it does not make a difference and the Lease still is a binding contract. We did not misrepresent ourselves under the Lease and have the right to manage the property as Landlords. Thank you.
