Duplex subject to probate court approval

[Ben Reeder]

Hi All, I’m looking at purchasing my first property and I’m focused on small multi-families in southern NH. There is a listing for a duplex and the description says “Sale is subject to probate court approval.” I’ve done some searching through previous discussions and I’m not sure I’ve gotten a good sense of what this means exactly. I’m aware of the general concept of probate, but I’m curious if people have experienced extended timelines when pursuing deals like this. Any general advice? I don’t want to wait around for 6-12 months if this would take that long.
