Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Sales
Q: Do I need probate before selling an inherited home?
A: Not always. If the property was held in a trust or joint tenancy with survivorship, probate may not be necessary. Florida has simplified probate for smaller estates. We coordinate with local attorneys to determine your specific requirements.
Q: Can you handle everything if I live out of state?
A: Absolutely. Most estate sale clients aren't local. We handle showings, coordinate vendors, manage repairs, and provide regular updates. Virtual closings are also available. You may never need to travel to Florida.
Q: What if there are multiple heirs or title issues?
A: Common situation. We work with experienced title companies in Okaloosa County to resolve heir disputes, clear old liens, and ensure clean transfer. Our attorneys can help with heir agreements and quit claim deeds.
Q: Who handles clean-outs and repairs?
A: Our network includes estate sale companies, donation services, junk haulers, and repair contractors throughout Niceville and Fort Walton Beach. We coordinate everything based on your needs and timeline.
Q: Will we owe capital gains on the sale?
A: Inherited properties typically receive a "stepped-up basis" to the date-of-death value, often eliminating capital gains. We connect you with CPAs who specialize in estate taxes to ensure you understand implications before selling.
Q: How long does an estate sale take?
A: Depends on probate status and property condition. If no probate is needed and the home is ready, we can list immediately. Most estate sales close within 45-60 days of listing. We work with your timeline.
