How to Prepare Your Deceased Parent's Home for Sale

It’s never easy to lose a parent.No matter how old you get, there's always going to be that missing

part of your life where your father or mother should be.

The death of loved ones is one of the most difficult things any of us will ever experience. Saying goodbye to the home they lived in can be one of the most complex and painful parts of the process. If your parent’s Long Island NY home has been in the family for a long time, it can carry some

emotional attachment.

In order to sell your deceased parent’s home, the first thing that you have to do is to identify who has the legal responsibility to handle

the transaction.

Obtaining probate can take a few months, depending on the complexity and size of the estate. If you have been named as executor, you can apply for probate and

market the home at the same time. However, you have to be aware that if someone makes an offer, you’ll have to delay the completion of the sale until

you’ve received the Grant of Probate.

So how do you prepare your Long Island NY home for sale?

choose to do some or all of the sorting themselves, so that they can distribute possessions and personal items as the deceased parent would have wanted.
