Estate property sales, handled with care.
From the first court appearance to the final accounting, we guide executors, administrators, and family trustees through California probate property transactions.
A specialized process — not a regular sale.
California probate sales follow rules most agents never encounter: court confirmation hearings, overbid procedures, IAEA notice requirements, and Probate Code §10309 pricing thresholds.
We've worked alongside of estate attorneys — preparing properties, marketing under court timelines, and appearing at confirmation hearings when needed.
Full Court Confirmation
Required when the personal representative lacks IAEA authority. Sale price must be at least 90% of court-appraised value. Open overbidding occurs at the confirmation hearing.
IAEA Authority
Independent Administration of Estates Act allows sale without court hearing when proper Notice of Proposed Action is served and no objections are received within 15 days.
A respectful, methodical process.
