Selling Real Estate During Probate in California
Real estate is often a significant asset in an estate. In many cases, a house or other property may be sold during the probate process.
The executor may have authority to sell real estate depending on the procedures governing the estate administration.
In California, many estates are administered under the Independent Administration of Estates Act, which can allow executors to sell property with fewer court procedures.
Proper procedures must still be followed to ensure the transaction complies with probate law.
