To close a sale of probate property, you need a specific type of deed, called a Personal Representative’s deed.

One of the most important things to remember when someone dies is to maintain insurance coverage and utility service to the decedent’s house. It also is important to pay the property taxes on the house during probate.

Selling property through probate can be complicated. The last thing you want is to add another level of complexity by allowing the home to fall into foreclosure before it is sold.
