by Deidre Wilson, MBA

How do you sell a home during probate in Las Vegas?
Selling a home in probate requires court approval, legal paperwork, and following Nevada’s probate process. With the right Realtor and legal guidance, the process can be managed smoothly. Deidre Wilson specializes in probate sales in Las Vegas, helping families through every step.


What Is Probate?

Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate. If a home is part of that estate, the sale must follow Nevada probate laws and court oversight.


Steps to Selling a Home in Probate in Las Vegas

1. Confirm the Executor or Administrator

The court appoints someone (executor if there’s a will, administrator if not) to oversee the estate. This person has the authority to sell the home.

2. Hire a Probate Attorney

An attorney ensures all legal requirements are met. In Nevada, probate can involve hearings, filings, and notices that require legal expertise.

3. Work With a Probate Realtor

Not every Realtor understands probate. Deidre Wilson brings years of experience with Clark County probate sales, guiding families through timelines, disclosures, and required court documents.

4. Get the Home Appraised or Valued

Courts often require an official valuation to establish the property’s worth.

5. List and Market the Property

Once authorized, the home can be listed for sale. In many cases, probate sales in Las Vegas follow standard real estate practices — photography, MLS, and showings — but with added court oversight.

6. Court Approval of Sale

Depending on the case, the court may need to approve the accepted offer. In some situations, additional buyers may be allowed to bid in court.


Common Probate Challenges in Las Vegas

  • Multiple heirs with different opinions

  • Court-mandated timelines

  • Homes in need of updates or repairs
