Estate sales come up fairly often. The estate executor needs to apply to the court for a Grant of Probate, giving the executor the authority to sign sale paperwork. An application for probate is typically a lengthy process, and in these COVID times it is even more prolonged.
The problem often is that you are dealing with a sale where the buyers want to close, but the executor can't because there is no Grant of Probate.
Solution?
You will be happy to hear that an estate lawyer can make an application to the Probate Court for an order allowing the sale to go through BEFORE the Grant of Probate.
Instead of waiting 3-9 months for the Grant of Probate, the sale order application can most likely be completed in 2-4 weeks.
