If your husband is the executor to his mother's estate do you have to sign dowry rights when he sells her condo?

No, the executor does not have an interest in the real property. He is not selling it, the estate is. If he inherits the property, then he has an interest in it and there could be dower rights involved. That is an issue that varies from state to state. It would be best to contact a local probate attorney, one who is familiar with laws in your state, to answer that question.
