The estate of the decedent is responsible for paying the judgment in any lawsuit against the decedent. When notice of the lawsuit has been filed in the estate the Administrator would be responsible for maintaining the assets until the lawsuit has been resolved. No distribution can be made to beneficiaries until the debts of the estate are paid. The Administrator can be held liable if they distribute assets before debts are paid.

It would be a lawsuit regarding a conflict arising from the probating of an estate.
To sue the estate of a deceased person with no will, you would typically need to file a claim in the probate court where the person lived. The court will appoint an executor or administrator to handle the estate and the lawsuit. It's advisable to consult with a probate attorney to guide you through the process.
Yes. The administrator is responsible for all the property in the estate until the estate has been distributed and closed. If there is real property included in the estate the administrator's duty would include maintaining insurance on the premises until title has been legally transferred to the heirs.Yes.

You would not be an executor. You would be an administrator. You file an application with the probate court in your jurisdiction to be appointed the administrator of the estate.
You would be better to leave all property disposal to the estate's administrator or executor.
Yes the executor can certainly bring a lawsuit. There is no requirement for there to be heirs to the estate to bring the suit. The estate may have many debts to settle, including medical bills and be able to use the money.
The estate would need to be reopened and the funds would pass according to the terms of the will or by the laws of intestacy if there was no will. A fiduciary would need to be appointed to represent the estate and distribute the funds.
Not without breaching their fiduciary duties. It would be irresponsible of the executor to do so. It could land them in trouble.
If the estate of a decedent needs probating and no one has come forward to administer the estate, then the county Public Administrator may petition to be appointed the administrator. They are required to perform their duties under the law as any administrator. They would need to petition the court for a license to sell the real estate. The proceeds would escheat to the state to be placed in a fund. If an heir ever comes forward and can prove their status as an heir they can make a claim for the net proceeds.
The bank isn't responsible for the management of funds. You would need to pursue the administrator's estate.
