The executor or trustee (it's not clear which this person is) has to follow the directions left in the documents. However, other laws and rules also apply. If there are tenants who have a lease, they are entitled to stay until the end of their lease. They should be notified to begin paying their rent to the estate or trust, rather than directly to your father. If they are on month-to-month status, they should be given a 30-day or 60-day notice (whichever is appropriate based on how long they have lived there), so that the property can be sold.
