Start with the details that change the decision.

01

Authority

Ask estate counsel to identify the appointed or otherwise authorized person, the scope of authority, and any court or beneficiary requirements that may apply.

02

Title

Engage a title professional early to identify ownership, liens, unreleased interests, deceased co-owners, name differences, or additional documentation.

Frequently asked

Questions worth answering before the showing.

Can a house be sold while probate is open in Bexar County?+

Sometimes. The answer depends on authority, administration type, court orders, title, and the estate. Estate counsel and the title company should confirm the path.

Does the court set the listing price?+

Requirements vary by case and administration. The authorized representative should obtain legal guidance and a current market analysis before proceeding.

Should the family clean out the house first?+

Not automatically. Protect property and records, confirm authority, inventory important contents, and understand the sale strategy before disposing of belongings.
