Selling a loved one's home is emotional and logistically complex. We handle the real estate so you can take care of your family.
Not all estate sales go through formal probate. If the property was held in a trust, had a transfer-on-death deed, or is jointly owned by a surviving spouse, you may be able to sell without court involvement.
Estate homes often need cleanout, minor repairs, and staging. We coordinate with local cleanout companies, handyman services, and stagers to prepare the home for sale.
Ideally yes, but we can help coordinate the cleanout. In some cases, we can list with a cleanout contingency for the buyer.
Not all estate sales require formal probate. If the property was in a trust, held jointly, or had a transfer-on-death deed, you may be able to sell without going through Surrogate's Court.
Remote coordination is common in estate sales. Electronic signatures, virtual walkthroughs, and regular update calls keep all parties informed without requiring everyone to travel.
The will or trust typically specifies the distribution. If not, New York intestacy laws determine each heir's share. The estate attorney handles the formal distribution after closing.
It depends on the home's condition and the local market. Minor cleanup and cosmetic fixes often yield strong returns. Major renovations on behalf of an estate are rarely worth the cost and time.
The estate (through the executor or administrator) is responsible. This includes taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care, and security. These costs come from estate funds or the eventual sale proceeds.
Personal property should be distributed to heirs or handled through an estate sale company before listing. We coordinate timing between the estate cleanout and the real estate listing.
