Can I sell my home if it is in probate?

Although selling a home during probate can be a bit more complicated than a typical sale, it’s not only possible but sometimes preferrable so that the heirs do not inherit any potential problems with the real estate.

Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person's assets, including real estate, under the supervision of a court. When a home is in probate, the personal representative of the estate, who is appointed by the court to manage the estate, must follow probate court requirements to sell the home. In most cases, you'll need court approval to sell the property during probate. This typically involves filing a petition with the probate court and obtaining authorization to sell the home. The court will want to ensure that the sale is in the best interest of the estate and any heirs. You'll need to gather all relevant documents related to the property, including the deed, title, and any existing mortgage or liens. These documents will be necessary for the sale process and for providing information to potential buyers.

Throughout the process, it's essential that the representative of the estate communicates regularly with the probate court, heirs, and any other parties involved to ensure a smooth and legally compliant sale.
