Probate Property and the Law

 

Probate keys

If you wish to sell an inherited property then there are rules and laws you have to abide by.

Many people choose to sell inherited property as they can’t afford to keep up payments on a second house or simply to just pay off the debts of the deceased.

Remember, it is likely you’ll have to keep up payments for insurance, utilities, gardening and general maintenance.

Grant of probate is required if you’ve been named executor of the will before you can sell your home and transfer the deeds set out in the will.**

 

You cannot sell a probate property before you have received the grant of probate.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, in general some smaller estates do not need to go through the probate process.

However, if there is a property, building or land owned by the deceased, it is likely to be required.

The estate could be liable for tax, which as of March 2017 is 40% of any amount over £325,000.

However, tax is rarely simple so it’s well worth taking advice to be on the safe side.

You can deal with everything yourself if you wish. However, we’d suggest using a solicitor to assist you to be sure that everything is done correctly.

For a fairly simple estate, their fee is likely to be around £500 – £750 plus court fees, etc.
