Probate is the process of dealing with somebody’s assets after they die. If you’ve been named as executor of the property, you’re not tied to any specific time restrictions when it comes to selling property after probate. However, the courts will determine an appropriate deadline to complete the probate house sale process.

You might feel that it’s important to complete a house sale quickly, but there are numerous factors that can delay the process. While it’s possible to put the house on the market, and even accept an offer, at your own pace, it’s impossible to exchange contracts and complete a sale before executor of property status is confirmed.
