Can an executor be a Landlord?

[Richard Derrick]

Hi, new forumite here. Here is my dilemma. My MOM died a few  years back and I was appointed executor. Everything was fine for years, as I rented the house from the estate. Now, my couny social services office is making a big deal about me getting food stamps etc,  as they said I can't be my own landlord. However, i am the only one in the probate of the estate, so  who could be my landlord but me. I heard this particular problem is prevalent all over the country as  a lot of sons and daughters live in their  family home taking care of their MOM and DAD, then they pass away and they want to stay in the home they grew up in. I know it seems like a strange situation, but             it isn't, so what can be done, that is, legally,  in this situation, thanks for listening and assisting
