One of the biggest challenges in estate real estate is who lives in the property.
1. Family Members Still Living in the Property
Executors cannot remove occupants without following legal steps.
2. Tenants Protected Under NYC Rent Laws
Possibly involving:
- Rent control
- Rent stabilization
- Protections requiring proper notice
3. Unauthorized Occupants
Family friends, relatives, or caretakers may be inside.
4. Hoarding or Storage Issues
Estates often store belongings for years.
Professional removal may be needed.
5. Vacant Units Still Require Security Measures
Executors should address:
- Locks
- Water shut-off
- Insurance
