Often, yes, but the will and the estate case determine who may act. A court must appoint a personal representative first. If the will gives that representative power to sell real estate, the representative can usually sell without a separate court order. If it does not, the representative can ask the District Court for an order granting that power; people with an interest in the house must receive notice, and the order must be final with the appeal time expired before the house can be conveyed.
The court appoints a personal representative—an executor or administrator—to act for the estate. The will may give that representative power to sell real estate; otherwise, a District Court order may be needed.
If the will gives the appointed personal representative power to sell real estate, the representative can usually sell without a separate court order. Without that power, Kentucky’s general list of representative powers does not include selling land. The representative can ask the District Court for an order, with notice to everyone who has an interest; the order must be final and the time to appeal must expire before conveyance.
