Executors Fiduciary Duty Breach

Summary

An executor has a fiduciary duty to manage an estate in the best interest of all heirs. Unauthorized use of estate property, such as allowing someone to live rent-free, can be contested. In Texas, the unauthorized occupant could potentially be charged rent. To address this, you may need to file a petition in probate court. Consider discussing the issue with the executor or consulting with an attorney to understand your rights.
