Probate property: What are the implications of inheriting a home?

Have you ever wondered what probate property is? MPG Investments provides some clarity on probate property and the implications of inheriting a home.

What is probate property?

Probate is a legal process that governs the estate – also referred to as ‘probate property’ – of a deceased person. The process entails ensuring that all outstanding debts, taxes and funeral expenses are settled before the rest of the estate is allocated in accordance with the decedent’s will. The probate proceeding gives the heir, also known as the ‘executor’ or ‘administrator’, legal authority over the deceased person’s assets.

Probate proceedings are often characterised by complexity, delay and expense. Legal council is a must, as it involves court hearings, asset appraisals, the signing of numerous legal documents, completing final income tax returns and the transfer of all assets to the relevant beneficiaries.

Inheritance is a complicated process.

Needless to say, inheritance is accompanied by emotions of grief and loss at the passing of a loved one. The last thing you need is stress and complications when it comes to dealing with your inheritance. Legal and administrative details have a tendency to worsen times of loss, as they consume the time and energy you need for your family and yourself.

It could be in your best interest to sell your inherited property. Take a moment to consider the following cases in point. Firstly, you may live in another town or city, which would obviously complicate the probate property proceedings.

Secondly, you might want to market the estate and access equity tied up in it quickly. Selling your home through an estate agent, especially if you live some distance away, could be a lengthy and complicated business. Many homeowners who have opted for estate agents have learnt the hard way that hidden costs and silent deductions can reduce selling profits drastically.

Capital gains tax is another crucial issue to consider. Under this tax, you are obligated to assign a substantial percentage of your inherited property’s value to tax. Most people simply do not have the financial resources to pay this tax and keep their inherited property – they are thus forced to sell the property in order to satisfy the hefty tax demand.
