How a Probate Sale Differs from a Traditional Real Estate Sale in California

Court Involvement

•Probate sales are court-supervised; traditional sales are private transactions.

Disclosures

•Executors must disclose court involvement and known property issues.

•Traditional sellers disclose only known issues—no court requirements.

Timeline

•Probate can take longer due to legal oversight and hearings.

•Traditional timelines are typically faster and more flexible.

Court Confirmation

•Many probate sales need court confirmation post-offer.

•No court steps involved in standard sales.

Valuation & Marketing

•Probate may require a court-approved appraisal & open marketing to secure fair market value.

•Traditional sellers set price and marketing strategy with their agent.

Professional Guidance Required

Due to its complexity, probate real estate demands experience. Always consult a specialist or attorney familiar with California probate law.
