Selling a home during probate is very different from a traditional sale—and most executors aren’t told that until something goes wrong.
This course is a practical, step-by-step course designed to help executors and administrators prepare an estate property for sale the right way. This course focuses on what happens before the listing ever goes live: understanding the property’s legal status, gathering the right documentation, protecting yourself as a fiduciary, and working with real estate professionals who truly understand probate.
You’ll learn how to evaluate the condition of the property, decide what repairs or clean-outs actually make sense, and avoid costly or unnecessary work. The course also walks you through how to interview and select a probate-experienced real estate agent—including the right questions to ask, red flags to watch for, and how to ensure the agent understands court requirements, timelines, and executor responsibilities.
This course is educational, not legal advice, and is designed to reduce stress, prevent mistakes, and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and care—while honoring both your loved one’s legacy and your duty as executor.
