Here is what to expect when selling an inherited property in San Luis Obispo County: Step 1 — Appointment of Executor or Administrator: The probate court appoints a personal representative with legal authority to sell the estate's real property. Step 2 — Property Valuation: A court-approved probate referee establishes fair market value. We provide our own market analysis to help ensure maximum value. Step 3 — Listing and Marketing: We prepare the home, coordinate cleanouts and repairs, and launch a targeted campaign to attract buyers. Step 4 — Reviewing Offers: Depending on whether the estate has Independent Administration authority (IAEA), offers may go directly to the executor or require court confirmation with overbidding. Step 5 — Court Confirmation (if required): We attend the hearing and guide our clients through the overbidding process. Step 6 — Close of Escrow: Upon approval, escrow closes and proceeds are distributed to heirs and beneficiaries. Call us today — we will walk you through every step.
