Been there done that. I know your pain. My dad made me the executor of his estate. I had to put on a actual sport coat and tie and stand before a judge with my attorney and swear to execute the duties of an executor. It took many months and my brother did not have a single issue with it. I just mailed him checks.
My wife had several people come over to my parents house and give the opinion I JUST had TO rip out all the carpet, gut the kitchen and bathroom and do a total makeover. Mentally I was screaming fcuk no but kept my mouth shut.
I stuck a for sale by owner sign in the yard and got a few nibbles. Mostly people wanted me to finance the loan. I told them all, I am not a bank. Finally a 20 something kid bought it. He loved the kitchen and bathroom just like it was.
I hired a real estate broker at a flat rate, $1,000 to write up a contract, and get us to a closing company. Sold! It was sold "as is" and it is a perfect starter home for him. I just hope he is handy at fixing things.
