Understanding the impact of probate on the transfer of ownership and the sales process to prevent title issues.

When a property is part of an estate, the process of selling it can become complicated in Orlando, FL, causing title issues. Probate is the legal process for distributing a deceased person’s assets. Transferring ownership is important. Navigating these waters requires knowledge, patience, and the support of a reliable title company.

Determining Legal Ownership

The first hurdle in a probate sale is determining legal ownership. The probate court must confirm who has the authority to sell the property. This often involves identifying heirs and ensuring there are no disputes. If multiple heirs are involved, they must reach an agreement before proceeding with the sale.

Title Issues

Title issues are also common. Unresolved debts, unpaid taxes, or contested wills can cloud the title, delaying the transaction. A thorough title search conducted by a reputable title company helps uncover these challenges early.
