More details to this question:

All beneficiaries must agree to let Dad stay if NC law does not give him a spousal lifetime right of occupancy. If they do not all agree, it is the duty of the executor of Mom's estate to gather the assets, pay the debts and distribute the rest pursuant to her Will. This includes filing an eviction action against Dad.
