As
real estate agents that deal with estate planning and related concerns on a
regular basis, we are often asked specific questions regarding the handling of
property transfer. A common question we receive deals with the way to handle a
property that is inherited by the executor of the estate. Many people want to
know if it is better to sell the property while it is still in Probate.
The
short answer is this: it depends.
Since
every real estate transaction and every situation is different, there really is
no right answer. However, there is one factor to keep in mind. In our many
years of experience in dealing with these types of situations we have learned
that there is a certain level of protection that you will get from the court.
The courts do understand that you are the assistant to the estate. That is why they do not want to put any further
liability on top of you.
There
is another aspect to the Probate court factor that also adds protection; by
allowing a court to oversee a sale much of the family dynamic and guesswork
that can ensue is eliminated. As soon as the property has gone through probate
all the other beneficiaries become parties and each of them have a say in the property.
