What an Executor Needs Before Listing the Property

Written By Kimberly Holmes

To sell real estate during probate, the executor usually needs:

  • Letters Testamentary (if there is a will)

  • Letters of Administration (if there is no will)

  • A clear understanding of debts, liens, or title issues

  • Agreement from heirs (if required by the court or attorney)

Once the executor receives their authority, the property can typically be listed right away.
