Start with the people and the property.
An estate property sale can involve several people, different timelines and documents specific to the transaction. Bring your questions to your broker and your own legal professional before deciding how to proceed.
If you are buying
- Clarify your budget, preferred community and financing timeline.
- Ask what inspections, documents and sale conditions are available.
- Have your lawyer review the agreement and any estate-related terms.
If you are selling
- Confirm with your lawyer who has authority to act for the estate.
- Discuss the property’s condition, preparation and marketing with your broker.
- Set a realistic timeline and organize the records relevant to the sale.
