Is a brother's right to his father considered a debt upon the deceased, necessitating prompt payment for the benefit of the deceased, or is it permissible to wait and sell later without haste to avoid loss in the sale, with the consent of all parties?

The son's right to his inheritance is not a debt owed by his deceased stepmother. There is no harm in delaying the division or sale of the house if the heirs agree. However, if one of the heirs demands the division, the rest must comply.
