Some states require a long formal court process, during which time the person in charge (executor or administrator, aka personal representative) may have certain interim powers to sell real estate before distributing to heirs or beneficiaries.Other States make it possible to get a single court order distributing real estate to heirs or beneficiaries without the need of the lengthy interim (formal) probate.Still other States permit a really informal, simplified method of transferring real estate from a deceased person to their heirs without court involvement.Hence, you you've got to know the State, the basics rules for that State and what's required to purchase in order to know when the sweet spot to market to a probate seller is.
