Guidance for Executors Managing Inherited Property

Quick Answer

What should an executor do when there is real estate in the estate?

Secure the property, confirm your legal authority to act, and get a realistic assessment of the home's condition and market value. The guides here walk through each of those steps; when the estate needs a valuation or a sale, Real Property Planning can connect you with a featured Washington licensed broker or certified appraiser.

First time managing an estate property? These guides walk executors and trustees through every step — securing the home, understanding its value, deciding what to repair, pricing it, and selling it — and explain when a licensed professional should be involved.
