A probate sale is where someone has died and the executor/administrator is selling the property owned by the deceased person.
When you sell a property as an executor/administrator or attorney your knowledge of that property can often be more limited than if you lived at the property as an owner. For this reason you may not be able to provide the buyer with as much information as you would normally do.
Machins has extensive experiencing in handling property sales after a person’s death.
We can assist you with any difficulties you may have in obtaining documentation which will save you getting in touch with the third parties.
Our aim is to protect you by limiting your liability to the buyer. We will work with you to prepare the contract to provide you with as much protection as we can.
Prior to selling the property we will require the Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration. If our Probate Team are assisting you we will liaise be able to liaise with them directly on this. If you are obtaining the the Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration yourself then copies of the death certificate and will are required.
While it is common for executors to start marketing a property before probate is formally granted, all parties should bear in mind that exchange of contracts and completion of the sale will not be possible until probate is granted.
