FAQ
Can an executor sell before probate is complete?
That depends on the facts and legal advice. The realtor can prepare strategy, but authority must be confirmed by the estate lawyer.
Who pays expenses before the estate home sells?
Usually estate funds or family arrangements cover carrying costs, but the executor should confirm with legal and accounting advisors.
Should an estate property be renovated before sale?
Only if the expected buyer pool and return justify it. Many estate homes need targeted preparation, not major renovation.
