Whether you are named as an administrator or you are one of the heirs, here is some useful information to take into consideration when dealing with probate properties:

The probate process can sometimes take up to 24 months. There will also be some expenses associated with the process, however, as an administrator, you can expect to be reimbursed. Taking over the task of as administrator can be a full time position, make sure you have enough time to accommodate all the duties. You should be compensated accordingly, compensation must be approved by the court.

Probate Properties are sold “as is” with no additional fix up improvements. So don’t expect to make any repairs other than the preparation of the property to go in the market.

You have the choice to either choose an attorney that specialize in probates or have the court assign one for you. The court will oversee the legal process for the transfer and/ or liquidation of assets from the deceased person’s name into his or her estate, so they can be sold or distributed to the heirs. This will include personal and real estate property. The process is closely regulated.
