As a trustee of my mothers house can I put a probate on the house or can I put the house up for sale, im in nz, i have

Mysewlf and my brother are the Trustee's of her estate. I dont know who the executor is.

Hi Chris myself and my brother Martin are Trustees of mums estate but my brother-in-law has been dealing with the will etc. on the document that I have enclosed my brother-in-law Geoff had a meeting in 2020 to discuss a new roof to be put on my mother's house which was held during covid, myself and my brother martin were not invited to attend the meeting even though we are trustees, now my sister the wife of Geoff has decided that she will not pay me a cent as I did not pay towards the repair of mums roof all is stated in the document attached which I and my brother did not sign!! can you see where I am going with this!! however, it does state that myself and Martin are the trustee at the bottom of the document I have had no further correspondence from my sister or my brother-in-law Geoff, I have had a meeting with my brother Martin regarding this issue and he also was not aware of the meeting or the document I.E ( minutes of the meeting). he is in favour with me to resolve this family dispute by putting the house on the market, there are 5 other siblings with the addition of myself and Martin there are 7 of us of which we will all receive equal shares as of mums request in her will However myself and martin are the trustee's, so can we go ahead and apply to the High court to sell mum's house? and also Chris is the document attached legally binding?. i hope I have given you a more precise update of information

thank you best regards roger

thanks chris did you view the document? ihave agreed to pay along qwith my brother martin the 10,000 dollars repair bill so hopefully that will soften there ego's, so now myself and my brother martin can push for the sale is that right?

the trust is due to expire in 2024 what would happen then??

ok chris so we can o ahead without applying to the high court?

thank you chris soo much for your help in this matter as the trustees are just myself and Martin we will proceed in the sale of the house i have informed my brother in law that we will pay the 10,000 dollars for the roof repairs and that we will be selling the house

Hi chris i'm having huge problems here, as a trustee can i take out a mortgage for my share of the estate against the trust because aparantly the house is in trust

ok but can i take one out against the whole property as a trustee if the other trustee my brother martin agrees to it, oh and that minutes of the meeting where never signed by me or martin so is that still legally binding?

HI chris i have been told by my sister and her husband that i can not sell mums house she is NOT a trustee just me and martin she said as trustee of mums will she is up holding mums wish and that i have no financial interst in the house i am so confused i have tried to switch to live phone call to call you to talk properly but the page wont allow me to do it. i just dont know what to do?
