Probate & Estate Sales, Answered
Do I need to sell an inherited property through probate court in California?
It depends on how the property was titled and whether it was held in a living trust. Some estates require full court-supervised probate, while others qualify for simplified procedures. Tiegen Boberg can help you understand the real estate side while you confirm the legal process with a probate attorney.
What is a probate sale and how is it different from a normal home sale?
A probate sale involves selling a property that belonged to someone who has passed away, sometimes requiring court confirmation and an overbid process at a hearing. Tiegen Boberg has experience coordinating these additional steps alongside your attorney and the court.
Can I sell an inherited home before probate is finalized?
In some cases, yes, depending on the authority granted to the personal representative. This varies by estate, so Tiegen Boberg recommends confirming your specific authority with your probate attorney before listing.
What if there are multiple heirs who disagree about selling?
Tiegen Boberg can provide clear, neutral information to all heirs about the property's value and the selling process to help support informed decisions. Legal disagreements between heirs should be directed to a probate attorney.
Does the property need to be repaired before selling in a probate sale?
Not always. Many estate properties are sold as-is. Tiegen Boberg provides honest guidance on which repairs, if any, are worth making versus marketing the home in its current condition.
