Someones died and the house has to be sold – what happens?
Again the basic procedure is the same, except for one or two additional twists:- We would deal with the people responsible for carrying out the deceased’s wishes. If there was a will this will be the executors, if there wasn’t then this will be basically their next of kin (but see our probate section for more details). Usually an executor won’t know much about the property itself so the forms that are normally filled out by the seller are usually left blank. other than that it’s basically the same.
