Navigating Probate Real Estate Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming
Losing a loved one is already one of life’s hardest moments. If you’re also tasked with managing their estate, the stress can feel insurmountable. At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC, we make sure selling an inherited home in New York doesn’t add more to your plate.
We are Staten Island’s only Certified Probate Experts (CPE)—a distinction that sets us apart in experience, legal coordination, and compassion. If you’re an executor, administrator, or family member facing probate, read on to avoid the most common (and costly) mistakes.
Top Mistakes Executors Make When Selling Probate Property
1. Listing Before You Have Legal Authority
It’s a common error—listing the property before receiving Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration from the Surrogate’s Court. Without them, you can’t legally authorize the sale.
2. Hiring a Realtor Unfamiliar with Probate Rules
Standard real estate agents often don’t understand court timelines, required documentation, or how to communicate with attorneys and heirs. This leads to missteps, missed deadlines, and unnecessary delays.
3. Letting the Property Sit Idle
Delays in clean-outs, repairs, or title disputes can cost the estate tens of thousands in holding costs. In probate, time really is money.
