Can the executor of a will move into the house before the will is probated?

Generally, an executor of a will cannot move into the deceased's house before the will is probated. Until the probate process is complete, the estate is not officially recognized, and the executor does not have legal authority over the property. However, if the executor is also a beneficiary and has the agreement of other beneficiaries, they may be able to move in, but this can vary by jurisdiction and should be approached cautiously to avoid disputes. It's advisable to consult with a probate attorney for guidance specific to the situation.
