This is a question for your probate lawyer. If the administration is a dependent administration, the Court's authority to sell and approval of the subsequent sale must be sought to prevent ripping off the estate by selling the home for less than fair market value or gifting it. If the administration is a dependent administration and oral okay won't do. Work with your lawyer to avoid becoming personally liable for faulty estate administration.
