Navigating an Estate Sale?
Let Us Guide You Through the Process

Handling the sale of an estate property can be overwhelming—especially when you’re managing legal, financial, and emotional aspects all at once. Whether you're an executor, beneficiary, or family member handling an estate sale, LGA Realty Group is here to make the process as seamless as possible.

Do You Need Probate to Sell an Estate Home?

One of the first questions executors ask is whether probate is required before selling an inherited home. In Alberta, probate is typically required if the deceased was the sole owner of the property or if there are no designated joint tenants. Without probate, the home cannot be legally transferred to a buyer. However, we can begin the listing process, prepare the home for sale, and start marketing the property while you await probate approval, ensuring everything is in place when the time comes.

If you’re unsure about probate requirements, we can connect you with trusted probate lawyers to guide you through the legal process before listing the home for sale.

Challenges Executors Face When Selling an Estate Home

Estate sales come with unique challenges, including:

  • Legal paperwork & probate delays – Ensuring proper authorization before the home can be sold.
  • Property condition & maintenance – Handling cleaning, repairs, or renovations to make the home market-ready.
  • Emotional decisions & multiple heirs – Coordinating with beneficiaries and ensuring fair decisions are made.
  • Selling timeline & financial considerations – Managing mortgage payments, taxes, and estate debts while waiting for the sale to close.

At LGA Realty Group, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters most—settling the estate with peace of mind.
