The Probate (Inherited Home) Sale Process
When a loved one dies, a typical NJ estate consists of a home, a few bank accounts, an IRA or 401K, a vehicle, and all of the loved one’s tangible personal property. For many people, the biggest asset they own is their home, and that process can pose the biggest challenge for the executor or administrator of an estate.
Identifying the Executor, Executrix, or Administrator
The first thing to be addressed in selling a house left by a deceased family member is identifying who has the legal responsibility to handle the transaction. If the owner left a Will, the Executor is the authorized person. If the house is in a Trust, the Trustee is the authorized person. If there is no Will or Trust, someone must step forward and take responsibility.
Maximizing Property Value
Have you ruled out the idea of selling the inherited property to a real estate investor or cash buyer and decided to attempt to get the most money possible for the property? Maximizing the value of the property will usually require some repair prior to putting the property on the market. We would also recommend decluttering. We have resources that can assist with the removal if junk and other unwanted items. We also recommend that you have a trained Option 1 Realty Group Agent come take a look! They can make recommendations with regard to strongly advised repairs, decluttering ideas, and staging tips designed to get you the most $$ for your inherited property.
5 TIPS to maximize the value of your inherited home :
- Clean up the lawn, trim the bushes and remove the leaves – hire a professional
- Cleanliness counts – hire a professional
- Paint, paint, paint – keep it neutral.
- Visually increase your home’s square footage – Declutter.
- Any kitchen or bathroom update equals added value.
Conclusion
While a home is often the most valuable asset of an Estate, the home can also pose some of the most significant challenges for an Executor or Administrator. By making good use of the resources available through Atlantic Title & Settlement services, we can help sell the home with an open, systematic, and deliberate approach. Our team is trained to help YOU focus on the end game, which is to get the house sold and to distribute the net assets to the people who are entitled to them!
