Who can decide to sell a parent’s home?
The owner decides if capable. If not, authority may depend on POA, estate trustee status, or court/legal process. Families should confirm with a lawyer.
Should we empty the house before calling a realtor?
No. Call before major cleanup so the sale strategy determines what is worth doing.
Should siblings be involved in the first meeting?
Often yes, especially if they influence decisions or may challenge pricing, timing, or preparation later.
