Principle is one thing, how much it's worth is another.

It's not about the money it's more to do with principal of telling my mother it's got nothing to do with her and she do what she likes.

Is there a mortgage on the property?

If your mother isn't happy with the way the estate is being managed, she can rescind her reserved power and become an equal executor.

No mortgage. My mother only got a copy of the probate what my auntie send to the estate agent. She didn't receive anything herself from probate office.

This is just not worth creating a fuss about.

Your aunt has not gained anything by her actions. If the sale goes ahead, she may have saved the estate some money. House prices will probably fall over the next few months and there will be no worries about ongoing maintenance, making sure the house is secure and any monies which need to be paid.

At the current time, there are far, far more important matters to be concerned about

Ah principles, you know one funny thing about principles - they dont pay the bills.

Thank you that's all I wanted to know. Because my mum never reserved her power

Given Covid-19, you might be better off just getting the house sold. Rather than leaving the property in limbo and paying for maintenance/insurance in the interim.

Yeah I do understand that. But was wanting to know how she could sell the house without my mum agreeing to reserve her power to the estate.

Your Aunt lied. .
In the same situation I obtained a signed letter from my sister granting me the authority. Just for self protection.
