FAQ

Can I sell a home in Irvine during probate?

Yes, you can. In California, it’s common to sell a home during the probate process—especially if the estate has full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA). With full authority, the executor or administrator can often sell the property without court confirmation. We help sellers navigate all steps legally and efficiently, ensuring the estate stays compliant while securing top market value.

What’s the difference between full and limited authority in probate?

Full authority gives you greater flexibility. You can sell the Irvine property without court approval, provided you follow the required notice procedures. Limited authority, on the other hand, means the court must confirm the sale after an accepted offer is submitted. We guide you through the appropriate path based on your Letters of Administration or Testamentary and help ensure every detail is handled correctly.

Do I need court confirmation to sell a probate home?

Not always. With full authority, you can usually sell without court confirmation by providing a Notice of Proposed Action (NOPA) to interested parties. With limited authority, court approval is mandatory and may add time to the process. We’ve managed both types of probate sales and can help you choose the smoothest, fastest route for your situation.

How long does it take to sell a probate home in Irvine?

If the estate has full authority, a probate sale can often be completed in 30 to 45 days, depending on the property and buyer financing. With limited authority and court confirmation, the timeline may stretch to 60–90 days. We provide a clear, custom timeline at the beginning of your process and handle every detail to help you close without delays.

What happens if the Irvine home needs repairs or clean-out?

You’re not required to make repairs. In fact, many Irvine probate properties are sold as-is, especially when heirs are out of the area or prefer not to invest additional money into the home. Our team can coordinate everything—from junk removal and deep cleaning to light staging or repairs if needed. We also work with investors and buyers comfortable with homes in original condition.

Can I sell the probate property even if I don’t live in Irvine?

Absolutely. Many of our probate clients live outside Irvine, Orange County, or even California. We’re equipped to manage the entire process remotely — with digital paperwork, virtual walk-throughs, photo documentation, and weekly updates. Whether you’re in another state or managing multiple heirs, we’ll handle the logistics so you don’t have to be here in person.

Can you still help if I already have a probate attorney?

Yes — and that’s exactly where we shine. While your probate attorney handles the legal side, we take care of everything real estate-related: preparing the home, pricing, marketing, managing buyers, and navigating disclosures and timelines. We’ve built strong working relationships with probate law firms, fiduciaries, and estate service companies throughout Irvine and Orange County.

Working with our team means your attorney stays focused on legal matters, while we ensure the property is sold smoothly, legally, and for top market value — with clear communication every step of the way.
