FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1How long does it take to sell a house in probate in California?

Most probate real estate sales take between 60 and 120 days. If the executor has full authority under the IAEA, the timeline is often much shorter.

2What’s the difference between full and limited authority?
Full authority allows the personal representative to sell without court confirmation. Limited authority requires a public confirmation hearing and possible overbids.
3Can we sell the home before probate is finalized?
Yes, with proper Letters of Administration or Testamentary, the home can be sold during probate. Proceeds are held in the estate until distribution.
4Do I need court approval to sell the property?
Not with full IAEA authority. With limited authority, court confirmation is required.
1What if the home needs work but there’s no money to pay up front?
We work with vendors who allow escrow-billed services for repairs, cleaning, and staging.
2I live out of state. Can you handle everything for me?
Yes. We specialize in helping out-of-area executors and heirs manage California probate sales remotely.
3What if there are multiple heirs or conflicting opinions?
We provide clear communication and neutral guidance to align all parties and keep the process moving forward.
