What Is Probate and How Does It Affect a House Sale?
Probate is the legal process where the court validates a will and authorizes someone (usually the executor) to distribute the deceased person’s assets — including real estate. In San Mateo County, this process can take several months or even over a year depending on the complexity of the estate.
You can usually sell a house in probate when:
- You’re the court-appointed personal representative
- You have full or limited authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA)
- The property is too costly to maintain or insure
- All heirs are in agreement (or the court gives permission)
Selling during probate may require court confirmation, proper notices to heirs, and strict deadlines. That’s why working with someone experienced in San Mateo probate home sales can make all the difference.
