Florida Probate Real Estate: Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating probate real estate sales in Florida can feel overwhelming — but you’re not alone. We’re here to make the process easier to understand. Below are answers to some of the most common questions from personal representatives and families managing an estate.
Please remember: This information is provided for educational purposes only and does not substitute for legal advice. Always consult with a qualified attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
What is probate real estate?
Probate real estate refers to property that is part of a deceased person’s estate and must be sold or transferred according to court-supervised probate proceedings.
Can a house be sold during probate in Florida?
Yes, a property can often be sold during probate with the court’s approval. The sale proceeds are typically used to pay debts and distributed to heirs afterward.
Do I need court approval to sell a probate property?
In many cases, yes. Florida courts often require permission before a sale, especially if the will does not grant specific authority to the personal representative.
Who can sell a house during probate?
The appointed personal representative (executor or administrator) is responsible for managing and selling estate assets, including real property.
How long does it take to sell a probate property?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the estate, court schedules, and buyer interest — but sales typically take a few months to complete.
Can a probate property be sold without going through probate?
Usually, no. Probate is required unless the property was held in a trust, joint ownership with rights of survivorship, or has a recorded beneficiary deed.
Can heirs live in the property during probate?
In some cases, yes. However, occupancy should be handled carefully to avoid complicating the sale or estate settlement. Legal advice is recommended.
What happens to mortgages on probate properties?
Existing mortgages must typically continue to be paid during probate. If the home is sold, the mortgage is paid off from the proceeds.
Do I need to make repairs before selling a probate home?
Not always, but basic repairs can increase the value and marketability of the property. We can help you evaluate the best strategy for your situation.
Can I sell a probate property “as-is”?
Yes, probate properties in Florida are often sold “as-is,” meaning the buyer accepts the property in its current condition without requiring repairs.
What costs are involved in selling a probate property?
Costs may include court filing fees, attorney fees, real estate commissions, title fees, and minor maintenance expenses.
Does the court set the listing price for a probate property?
No, but the court may require an independent appraisal or valuation to ensure the home is sold at a fair market price.
Do all heirs have to agree to sell the probate property?
Ideally, yes. If heirs disagree, it can complicate or delay the sale. In some cases, court intervention may be needed.
What happens if there is no will?
If there is no will, Florida intestate succession laws determine who inherits the property, and the court will appoint a personal representative to manage the estate.
Can I choose the real estate agent to sell the probate property?
In most cases, yes. As a personal representative, you have the authority to hire professionals to assist with the sale, subject to court approval if required.
Is it better to sell to a cash buyer?
Cash buyers can speed up the sale and avoid loan-related delays. However, they may offer slightly lower prices. It depends on your estate’s priorities.
Can I sell a probate property before the probate process is completed?
Yes, but you’ll typically need court approval, and sale proceeds must remain in the estate until probate closes and distributions are authorized.
What happens if the property doesn’t sell?
If a probate property doesn’t sell, it can be relisted, rented out, or sometimes transferred to heirs, depending on the estate’s needs and court approval.
What if there are multiple properties in the estate?
Each property must be managed according to probate rules. Some may be sold to pay debts, while others could be distributed to heirs, depending on the will or court decisions.
What is a Notice of Proposed Action?
A Notice of Proposed Action is a legal notice sent to heirs informing them of a planned sale or action, giving them an opportunity to object within a certain timeframe.
How is the sale price determined for a probate property?
The price is typically based on a professional appraisal, market analysis, and consultation with your real estate agent to ensure a fair and reasonable market value.
Is a formal appraisal required?
Sometimes. A formal appraisal may be ordered by the court or requested by heirs to confirm fair pricing, especially for high-value properties.
Can I avoid probate with a trust?
Yes. Assets placed in a properly structured living trust typically avoid probate. Speak to a qualified estate planning attorney to learn more about your options.
What role does a real estate agent play in probate?
A probate-experienced real estate agent helps with valuations, marketing, negotiations, paperwork, and court procedures related to selling estate property.
