Selling a Deceased Loved One’s Home

When selling a deceased loved one’s property, the process can be quite complex. Executors and heirs encounter various emotional and practical challenges. One of the initial steps in selling a deceased loved one’s home is to verify ownership and ensure a clear title.

This may involve locating and delivering essential legal documents, such as the will, letters of administration, and any relevant court orders. If the property is jointly owned, it becomes crucial to determine the rights of the surviving owner(s) and whether their consent is necessary for the sale.

Know Whether or Not the Courts Need to Get Involved

The legal transfer of property from a deceased individual to a living relative or beneficiary can sometimes require court intervention, this process is called probate. In the event that your loved one left behind a will, you may not have to.

Probate is a court proceeding filed in the county in Florida where the deceased person last resided. There are two types of probate for Florida residents: formal and summary.  Which type of probate depends on the size and type of assets owned by the decedent at the time of his or her death.

Determine Whether It’s Possible for You to Sell the Estate

If your loved one has named both an executor and beneficiaries of the property, then you will need to get the permission of the executor to sell the home. If the executor and beneficiaries disagree on what to do with the property then you may need to go through the court system.

Here are some of the most important documents to have when selling your deceased loved one’s estate:

• • • • Copy of the homeowners insurance policy

      • Bill receipts

      • Your loved one’s will

      • Bank account documentation

      • Investment account information
