Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy and navigating the legal and administrative tasks that follow can feel overwhelming. One of the key processes involved in handling someone’s estate is probate, something that many people haven’t encountered until they’re faced with it.

At Kuavo Estate Agents, we regularly support families through the property side of probate in Merseyside, offering a professional, sensitive service during what is often a difficult time.

What is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone’s estate after they have passed away. It involves:

  • Confirming the existence of a valid will (if there is one)
  • Valuing assets such as property, savings, and belongings
  • Paying any debts or taxes owed
  • Distributing the remaining estate to beneficiaries

If a property is part of the estate, which is often the case, it may need to be valued and sold as part of the probate process.

The Role of the Estate Agent in Probate

As experienced estate agents in Merseyside, our role in probate involves more than simply marketing a property. Here’s how Kuavo supports you:

Accurate Probate Valuations

We provide professional property valuations for probate purposes, which can be used by solicitors or executors when applying for a Grant of Probate. These are compliant with HMRC guidelines and reflect the property’s market value at the time of death.

Sensitive, Supportive Service

We understand the emotional and practical challenges that come with selling a property after bereavement. Our team offers a compassionate and discreet approach, ensuring you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Efficient Sale Management

Once probate has been granted and you’re ready to sell, Kuavo can handle the entire sale process — from marketing and viewings to negotiation and completion. We’ll work hard to secure the best possible result for the estate, all while keeping stress to a minimum.

Do You Need Probate to Sell a House?

Yes, in most cases, probate is required before a property can be sold — especially if it was owned solely by the deceased. However, you can begin the valuation and marketing process while waiting for the Grant of Probate to come through, so the sale can progress more quickly once it’s approved.
