![]() Once the estate goes through probate, the court gives the executor of the will the authority to act to distribute the estate’s assets and settle the estate’s debts. Many estates that include real estate and other assets will exceed this threshold, meaning you’ll have to wait for the regular probate process to conclude before you can put the property on the market. Most states allow for summary probate, an expedited process that doesn’t take a lot of time or require legal counsel, but that option is available only for small estates ranging in value from a few thousand dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars. Before you sell property you inherit, the estate must go through probate.
