How probate sales work with us.

Probate sales involve the courts, attorneys, and timelines you didn't sign up for. We've helped 60+ Sacramento and Bay Area families navigate probate sales over the years. We work directly with your attorney, close after court confirmation, and handle property clean-out so you don't have to.

California probate typically takes 9-18 months. During that time, the property sits — often vacant — generating insurance, tax, and maintenance costs. A fast cash sale (after Letters Testamentary issue) can get the estate liquid and let heirs move on.

Common probate complications — solved.

We've worked through these scenarios many times before.

Court confirmation timing

We close after Letters Testamentary are issued. If full IAEA authority is granted, we can move faster — sometimes 14-21 days from offer.

Multiple heirs

We work with all heirs through the executor. Equity is distributed at closing per the executor's instructions to the title company.

Estate attorney coordination

We work directly with your probate attorney. We send our offer through them and let them review every document.

Property still has belongings

Leave anything you don't want. We handle clean-out and donate items locally. No need to sort through 40 years of stuff.

Out-of-state heirs

Documents are notarized remotely or via mobile notary. You don't need to travel to California to close.

Tax basis step-up

We coordinate with your CPA on stepped-up basis at date-of-death valuation, so you receive proper tax documentation.

Probate sales sellers ask us this most.

Anything missing? Pick up the phone — we answer ourselves.

Can you close before probate is complete? +
Generally no — we need Letters Testamentary or court confirmation before close. But we can sign a purchase contract earlier and let probate finish. Some California counties offer expedited probate.
Do I need to hire a probate attorney to sell to you? +
Strongly recommended, yes. California probate has specific rules and an attorney protects you. We work directly with whatever attorney you select.
What if there are multiple heirs and we don't all agree? +
All heirs must approve the sale through the executor. If heirs disagree, the executor (or court) decides. We typically wait for executor confirmation before moving forward.
How is the offer affected by probate status? +
Not by much. The home's condition and market value drive our offer — probate adds some timeline complexity but not major price impact.
Do you pay the probate attorney fees? +
Probate attorney fees are part of the estate's expenses, traditionally. We pay all closing costs (escrow, title, transfer tax) but probate attorney fees are usually paid from estate funds.
