Most Executors want to get the property sold as soon as possible and it depends on the Heirs. They have a right to say whether one of them wants to buy the home or property, or if they want it sold or not. E.g. There are 3 Heirs and 2 out 3 agree that they want to sell the property. The property MUST be sold. You usually can have it sold within the year, but, if the house or property has some difficulties attached to it or is a (hard sell) it can lapse over a year.

Can a co-executor force the other co-executor to sell real estate?

Executors must be appointed by the court and then perform their duties under the supervision of the court. You need to appeal to the court for a ruling if the two of you have equal power and cannot agree. You must state all the pertinent facts in a motion and the reason the sale of the real estate would be in the best interest of the heirs. The court will issue an order that must be followed. On the other hand, if one of the heirs wants to keep the property they must buy out the interests of the other heirs.
