FAQ
Often, the Personal Representative (PR) can sell if the will grants power of sale. If not—or if the case is in formal probate—the PR may need a License to Sell from the court (MPC 210; decree MPC 794). A late & limited PR cannot obtain a license to sell.
Massachusetts has formal, informal, and late & limited probate, plus voluntary administration for smaller estates. Each has different timelines and powers.
Informal probate filings can start within 7 days after death. Sale timelines vary based on PR authority, buyer type, and court approvals—but with proper planning, sales often close in 30–45 days once under agreement.
The PR, in consultation with their attorney and agent, determines the strategy and offer acceptance. If a License to Sell is required, the court may review the sale terms before approval.
