Are you trying to sell a house you inherited from a deceased relative, but can’t find a committed buyer? At Home Buyers of Savannah, we buy houses in Savannah, GA, no matter the condition or reason. We pay cash and take the ownership of the transaction so you won’t lose your hair trying to navigate probate court and the disposition of the estate.
What Is Probate in Savannah, GA?
Probate is the legal process that deals with your estate, such as your home and belongings, after you die. If a Georgia resident passes away, their estate must go through probate court, regardless of whether there exists a will or not. In less common instances, an estate will not have to go through probate such as if the property transfers to a trust. Even then, we can purchase property from a trust.
If the deceased left behind a will, the judge will assess its legitimacy and appoint an executor to oversee the disposition of the estate. A properly constructed will should dictate the person or entity to serve as the executor. If no will exists, the court will appoint an administrator and ensure the estate pays any outstanding debts.
Keep in mind that an administrator and an executor have different, albeit similar, roles. The primary difference between the two is that an administrator receives an appointment from the Probate Court when the deceased does not otherwise state one in their will. Meanwhile, an executor is the person named in a will.
Additionally, a will generally identifies which person(s) or entity receives which asset from the estate. In the event the owner dies without leaving behind a will, the ownership of assets will transfer to heirs in accordance with the law.
How To Sell a House owned by a deceased family member in Savannah?
If you are the administrator or executor of the estate, give us a call and we can purchase the property quickly and easily. If the estate has not been assigned an executor or administrator by the court, still give us a call. We can put the property under contract and walk you through probate court. Our attorneys have extensive experience guiding cases through probate court and are happy to help. The complexity of the estate and the family situation will have a major impact on how long the probate process lasts. Nonetheless, we will be with you every step of the way to ensure the estate is probated properly.
If you attempt to sell a home you inherit without completing the probate process, you will encounter major problems. A property without a clear title will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to sell. Obtaining financing and title insurance for a property with competing ownership claims won’t be easy either, if its possible at all.
So when a relative passes away and they leave behind real estate, give us a call and we will help you and your family probate the estate and minimize your legal and financial burden.
