“Before you sell an inherited house, make sure the right people actually have the legal authority to sell it.”

What happens after a loved one passes away and leaves behind a home? Can you sell it immediately? What if there’s no will? What if siblings disagree? What if there’s still a mortgage?

In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen sits down with Ohio estate planning and probate attorney Matthew Deliberato to walk through the entire process of inheriting a home, the pitfalls of probate, why you should look into a trust, and who to contact on day one?

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What probate really is (and why so many families want to avoid it)

• The difference between wills, trusts, transfer-on-death deeds, and probate

• The legal responsibilities of executors and trustees

• How a professional can help you avoid mistakes after inheriting real estate

• When to involve an attorney, Realtor, and title company

Whether you’ve recently inherited a home, expect to someday, or simply want to make life easier for your own family, this episode will help you understand the process before costly mistakes happen.
