Selling Under Conservatorship
Selling a home on behalf of someone who can no longer manage their affairs calls for extra care — legally and personally.
Court oversight
A conservator of the estate generally needs court approval to sell real property. When the property is the conservatee's personal residence, the court must also find that the sale is in the conservatee's best interest, and notice requirements are stricter. Most conservatorship sales proceed through a court confirmation hearing with overbids, similar to probate.
Preparation with dignity
Often the conservatee's belongings are still in the home, or they have recently moved to care. We coordinate respectfully with family, care managers, and counsel on timing and the handling of personal property.
Typical timeline
Allow time for the appraisal, the petition, and a hearing date — commonly 60 to 120 days from accepted offer to close.
