Many people find selling a deceased person’s property a major obstacle in completing probate.  The sale of a deceased person’s property may be essential in order to clear any outstanding debts or Inheritance Tax. However one may not be able to sell a property without paying advance Inheritance Tax!

It is for reason such as this The Probate Bureau set up its own probate property service.  Selling a probate property is no different to selling any other property, but often house clearance, making good the property, arranging Home Information Packs and marketing the property, all take a considerable time to complete.

Our specialist probate property team work closely with the country’s leading Estate Agents to market every property and in doing so receive favourable rates on each property transaction. As part of our probate property service, we offer remedial work to prepare the property for sale. More extensive decoration services are also available should the need arise.  All Home Information Packs are carried out and completed as part of our services.

The Probate Bureau combines the use of professional probate administrators and probate property services to remove the difficult issues and responsibilities from the executors or family relative who is administering the estate.  For example, if the deceased person has two children who are to benefit from the property sale in equal shares, and one of the children is currently living in the property, the siblings would need to reach an agreement about what has to be done about the property.  Unless agreement is reached the person administering the estate has to act to resolve the matter.  In some cases this can be a daunting prospect as the person administering the estate is often a family friend or close relative.  The professional and legal knowledge required in dealing with this type of situation is often best handled by those in the profession.  In most cases, using professional administrators such as The Probate Bureau can work out to be as cost effective as doing it yourself and usually fair less stressful.
