Time is of the essence, powerful laws were set into motion that could result in your house being sold at auction.

Have him sign a Power of Attourny so you can have someone sign for him at closing incase he's uncooperative.

Assuming this has been through the probate process and is ready to be sold (probably a bad assumption based on Steve’s input), then you need the get the executor to sign the authorization to release form for the property, a copy of the power of attorney or court appointed order showing they have power of attorney and a copy of the death certificate showing the name of the property owner and enough of her info showing she owned the property (I have never done a probate deal so this is what I would get and could be a bit off here).Regarding the paperwork that country wide is taking the executor to court, that is probably part of the foreclosure process in your state.

So, in real terms (real means inflation adjusted, that's, what you can buy with the money), the property is worth only 1.3 times its initial value.The calculation is down as a power function in Excel: Power (1+rate, term) where rate is the appreciation rate (5%) and term is the number of years (30).There's not quite enough information to fully answer you second question, so I'll make a few assumptions.

Would I change the second amendment should I had the power?

The returns are pretty significant, but it's unregulated and I figure Mr Obama and the powers that be will eventually crack down on it and decide it's too profitable or the like, so , i'm wanting to take as much income as I can from it and invest it in something else, I've already funded a startup which has been doing well , but the rest of it, i'd like to go back to real estate as it seems much more stable.
