Buying a House Under Probate
This condominium is being sold through probate in Santa Clara County. The administrator’s father passed away peacefully in the home. When buying probate property in California, a death in the home within the last three years must be disclosed.
When buying a probate house, we also need to be aware that there are disclosure exemptions. That means the estate representative is not required to complete specific disclosures that a non-probate home seller would need to complete.
What is a Condominium?
As defined by Davis-Sterling: “Condominium is Latin in origin and means co-ownership. Unlike stock cooperatives, condominium owners hold title to their units. A condominium is defined as ‘an estate in real property, consisting of an undivided interest in common in a portion of real property coupled with a separate interest called a unit.” (Civ. Code §4125.) The covenants, conditions, and restrictions (“CC&Rs”) recorded against the entire project restrict the use of the property and define the responsibilities of the association as a whole as well as the owners individually.”
It’s important to remember that buying a condominium means we need to be aware of the rules and regulations of the community as well as the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, also known as the CC&Rs, that dictate what homeowners can and cannot do. Always read the HOA documents carefully before making a decision to buy.
The administrator of an estate found Kathleen by searching the Internet for a probate real estate agent. She contacted her directly and scheduled a consultation. After they spoke on the phone, she invited Kathleen to meet her at the property to discuss the probate property sale procedure.
At that time, the petition for probate had only recently been filed. The court date was 6-8 weeks out. The administrator would not have the authority to sell the home until the judge heard the petition for probate, granted the order, and issued Letters of Administration. A certified copy of the Letters is what is needed in order to confirm the person selling the home has the authority to sell and the level of authority, full or limited, granted by the court.
In this case, the administrator was granted full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act or IAEA. That means a probate sale without court approval, and the sale avoids the California probate sale overbid process.
It becomes necessary to probate an estate when people passed away without the proper estate planning documents.
