Understanding Selling A House in Probate

Probate is the legal process of handling a deceased person's estate. This involves confirming their will, paying any debts, and giving assets to beneficiaries. A house a part of the estate often needs to go through probate before it can be sold.

Steps to Sell Your Inherited House

1. Choose someone to manage the estate: If there is a will, appoint an executor. If there is no will, appoint an administrator. This person is responsible for overseeing the probate process and ensuring all legal and financial obligations are met.

2. Obtain Court Approval: In most cases, you will need to obtain approval from the probate court to sell the house. To sell the property, you need to file a petition and provide the required documents showing it's best for the estate.

3. Get the Property Appraised: An appraisal is necessary to determine the fair market value of the house. This ensures that the property sells for a fair price to distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries.

4. List the Property for Sale: Once you have court approval and an appraisal, you can list the property for sale. It's essential to work with a real estate professional experienced in probate sales to navigate the complexities involved.

5. Accept an Offer and Seek Court Confirmation: When you receive an offer, it must be submitted to the probate court for confirmation. The court might ask for a public meeting to approve the sale. Other buyers can offer more money at this meeting.

6. Complete the Sale: After court confirmation, you can proceed with closing the sale. Money from the sale will pay debts, then go to beneficiaries as stated in the will or law.
