Estate Distribution Made Simple with Funera Sydney
ESTATE DISTRIBUTION MADE SIMPLE WITH FUNERA SYDNEY
Losing a loved one is tough, and sorting out their property adds another layer of complexity. As an executor, follow these steps for a smoother process:
1. OWNERSHIP UNVEILED
Understand how the property was owned:
- Rented? Return after belongings are out.
- Joint tenancy? Usually, it transfers smoothly.
- 'Tenants in common'? Plan for potential sale or transfer.
- Sole ownership? It becomes part of the estate for Will-guided distribution.
2. HOME CLEAR-OUT AND ASSET LIST
Clear the home, but respect the emotional ties. Hold off on item removal until the official inventory is complete, unless specified in the Will.
3. REAL ESTATE MATTERS
For non-jointly owned properties:
- Value the property for potential distribution.
- Determine the value for tax and probate purposes.
- Mortgaged? Selling may be necessary; insurance can help.
4. PROPERTY TRANSFER PROCESS
For properties to be sold:
- Obtain Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration.
- List the property, ensuring buyers understand probate conditions.
- Transferring to beneficiaries? Follow legal processes and meet all requirements.
