What Every Executor Should Know
Full vs. Limited Authority
With full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act, many sales close without a court hearing. Limited authority requires court confirmation.

At the hearing, other buyers may bid more than the accepted offer. The first overbid must exceed the offer by 10% of the first $10,000 plus 5% of the rest.
