Sell Probate

To sell a probate property in Los Angeles, the personal representative lists the home with a real estate agent and accepts an offer. The sale then either closes under independent authority or proceeds to a court confirmation hearing where buyers can overbid, including cases involving tenant-occupied probate properties. The exact path depends on the authority granted by the court, including whether the estate has full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act or limited authority.
