Understanding Your Options
There are several ways to sell a property through probate in California. We will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and goals and recommend the most suitable approach, which can include:
- Selling through a Real Estate Agent: A licensed real estate agent can handle the marketing, negotiations, and paperwork associated with the sale, taking that burden off your shoulders.
- Private Sale: You can choose to sell the property directly to a buyer, which can be a quicker option.
- Public Auction: A public auction can be a way to generate interest and potentially achieve a higher selling price.
- Private Auction: A private auction can be a good option if you want to limit the pool of potential buyers to qualified individuals.
Following Legal Requirements
All probate property sales in California must be approved by the court. We will ensure that all legal procedures are followed meticulously, protecting your interests throughout the process. An important aspect of probate sales is that the property cannot be sold for less than 90% of its appraised value.
Timeframes and Extensions
By law, the property must be sold within 90 days of receiving court approval. However, extensions can be obtained in two-month increments, for a maximum of an additional 180 days. We will advise you on the best course of action depending on the specific circumstances of the sale.
