When someone passes away, their assets, including real estate, typically go through a legal process known as probate. If you’re wondering what happens to a house during probate and what to expect when selling it, we’ve got you covered! Our upcoming webinar will break down the probate process and offer expert tips to help you navigate it smoothly.
What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate, including distributing their assets to heirs and paying off debts. It’s a critical step that ensures the deceased’s wishes are followed according to their will, or if there’s no will, according to state law.
When is Probate Required?
In most cases, probate is required when a person passes away with assets in their name alone, without a joint owner or designated beneficiary. This includes real estate, bank accounts, and personal property. If the deceased has a living trust or other legal arrangements, probate might not be necessary, or it could be streamlined.
What Happens to Real Estate During Probate?
If the deceased owned real estate, like a house, during probate, it becomes part of the estate. Depending on the will and the heirs’ agreement, the property might be sold to pay off debts or distributed among the heirs. Selling a house during probate can be complex, as it requires court approval and following specific legal procedures.
