π Inherited a house? Before you do anything else, gather these:
β
Certified copies of the death certificate (you'll need more than one)
β
The will, if there is one
β
Proof of who has legal authority to sell β court paperwork from probate, and your attorney will know exactly which kind applies
β
The deed and the most recent property tax statement
β
The latest mortgage or reverse mortgage statement, if there's a loan
β
Keys, and a list of anything still inside the house
None of this has to be perfect before you reach out. But having it in one folder makes everything faster β and your attorney will thank you.
