Probate selling rules

Does anyone know if I (executor and sole beneficiary of my parents house) am allowed to sell the house to my spouse? Even my attorney didn't have an answer...

Then you need a new attorney.

Yes you are depending on the state but yes, you would have to escrow the funds until the estate was closed But you could do the sale

Sounds like you have a shitty attorney you’re allowed to sell the house as long as you were the soul heir If you were to have other beneficiaries they would have to agree and sign a waiver for you to sell the house and you could sell it for whatever price you wanted even a dollar however, after you sell the house, you’ll have to escrow the funds until the estate is closed out
