First, let me say that I'm very sorry for your loss.

Now, to answer your question: I wouldn't recommend selling the house without consulting an attorney. Depending on the laws where you live (or more accurately, where your late father's house is situated), the procedures could be very different. For example, in the US, the property would have to go through probate, unless your father was married and his spouse lived in the house. In a situation like this, there can be so many picky little details, that, in my opinion, it is best to at least talk to a professional who knows the laws in your area. I hope everything works out for you.

it is in your best interest no to. make sure you get some expert advice because there are alot of legal provisions for such things that you will probably not be aware of.

You poor thing! How sad! I think it is best to protect you in the future that you involve a solicitor. It might seem like a waste of money but it may be well worth it in the future if there are any problems. xx

No. At least not in America. Here, we have probate laws. Was there a will? Why do people try to save money on such huge issues? Go to the attorney and at least find out where you stand legally or you could end up in a mess. Having the deed is usually not enough.

The problem is teh buyer's solicitor will bombard you with information so really for what a solicitor costs youa re better going with one. I am going through the same with my late mothers estate and got a solicitor to deal with the whole probate issue. You will have enough on your mind get some help from an expert.


duncanjfield
in theory yes, but as an online conveyancer would only charge in the region of £500 + vat, inc the £150 land registry fee and would give you the protection of his profesional indemnity insurance, is it worth it?

I suggest using either an agent or a service that will help you with the process. Many of these services will provide the necessary forms at a much reduced rate. However, an agent has the area experience and has the resources to get the word out. In either case I do not suggest doing it alone.

Here is some additional info. Hope this helps.

Key questions:

Did your father die intestate or did he leave a will? If he left a will that deeded the property to a person other than yourself, then YOU cannot sell it since the proeprty is not yours. If he died intestate, then the property has to be disposed off through an administrator who is appointed by the court. In which case, you DO need a solicitor.

In this case it is not recommended. If you have brothers and sisters, you would not want to be accused of selling the property for too little or for handling it wrong. Hire the pro's and let them earn their fee. If things don't go well, it's their fault, not yours.

I'm not sure. Ask your homeowners association in your area---it could avoid possible legal heartache later.
