What is the process of selling a home that is in a trust?
My husband is the executor and he has inherited the house, per the trust. My FIL passed away 2 years ago and we didn’t file an estate tax return. Not sure if that is going to effect anything or not.

I am sorry for your loss. One would really need to review the documents in question here in order to give you an answer. Who is the trustee of the trust? That person would have the power to sell the house but only pursuant to the terms of the trust. Please get help sorting this out. Good luck.
