Whether an estate sale needs Orphans’ Court approval depends on the authority under Pennsylvania law and the will. If the executor is not authorized under law or the will, the executor can ask the court for permission under 20 Pa.C.S. §3353. The court decides whether the sale is desirable for administering and distributing the estate. Review the actual will and any court order with an attorney to determine what authority applies and who may sign.
Luzerne County lists its Register of Wills / Clerk of the Orphans’ Court as the estate-matters contact route. Call 570-825-1668 or use the County page to ask where to start; that contact route does not determine venue, appointment, authority, or who may sign.
