When a deceased person owns real estate, it often must be sold during probate to pay debts, divide assets among heirs, or fulfill directions in a will. Probate property sales require strict compliance with Florida law and court approval, particularly if multiple beneficiaries are involved. The process combines elements of both real estate law and probate law, making legal oversight essential.
The court must typically approve the sale before the property is listed or sold. This involves filing petitions to authorize the sale, providing notice to beneficiaries, and ensuring the property is properly valued. Once approval is granted, the sale proceeds are deposited into the estate for distribution. Additional documents, such as orders confirming the sale and closing statements, are filed with the court to finalize the transaction.
Attorney Lisa Crawford manages every aspect of probate property sales, from obtaining the court’s authorization to coordinating with realtors, title companies, and closing agents. She ensures the transaction complies with Florida probate requirements, protects the interests of all heirs, and avoids title complications later. Clients can expect a hands-on, detail-oriented approach that integrates legal and real estate expertise to achieve a smooth sale and fair outcome.
