When the Will is subject to probate, there may be property that must be disposed of pursuant to a sale. This sale is also known as a probate sale. Sometimes a probate sale is necessary in order for the estate to get money to pay off debts of the decedent, while in other instances; the sale may be done simply to liquidate the assets of the estate. The process involves having a personal representative appointed (such as an executor, trustee, administrator, or conservator, to name a few), settling the claims of creditors, inventorying the estate, paying any taxes due, administering the estate during probate, and then distributing the estate to the appropriate heirs or beneficiaries.
