Probate Property Selling Guide: What Executors and Families Need to Know

Selling a property after someone passes away can feel overwhelming. Between the legal requirements of probate, property valuations, inheritance tax considerations and preparing the home for sale, there are many steps to navigate.

To help families and executors better understand the process, Boydens has published a comprehensive Probate Property Selling Guide.

The guide covers:

• What probate is and when a property can legally be sold
• How to obtain an accurate probate valuation
• Understanding inheritance tax implications
• Preparing a probate property for the open market
• Timescales involved in a probate house sale
• Common mistakes to avoid

Probate property sales require both technical knowledge and a sensitive approach. As a third-generation family-run estate agency with decades of experience across Essex and Suffolk, Boydens understands that these transactions often come at an emotional time for families.

If you are currently managing an estate or acting as an executor, our guide provides clear, practical advice to help you move forward with confidence.
