Probate Process Overview
Appointment of the Administrator or Executor of the estate. In most cases, the decedent’s will names an Executor who is designated to handle the distribution of assets, including real property.
The Executor establishes a list price for the home. The price takes into account the appraisal by the Probate Referee and is usually determined with the assistance of a real estate agent experienced in probate and trust sales.
The property is listed for sale through the agent/broker. Working with a probate specialist like SG Associates is an essential step toward earning the best price and terms for your home.
The real estate agent markets the home in the public market. When you work with SG Associates, we will market each home aggressively leveraging our industry-leading marketing strategy.
We will negotiate on your behalf to establish the best price and terms. When the property has an accepted offer, a Notice of Proposed Action is mailed to all heirs, stating the terms of the proposed sale.
The attorney for the estate applies for a court date (the “confirmation hearing”) when the sale will be executed.
