Compassionate guidance for families selling estate properties in Ontario
Losing a loved one is hard enough. Navigating the sale of their home doesn't have to be. Our team has helped many Burlington families through this process with patience, expertise, and sensitivity.
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and authorizing the executor to administer the estate — including selling real estate. In Ontario, a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee is typically required before a property can be transferred.
Only the estate trustee (executor) named in the will — or appointed by the court — has legal authority to list and sell an estate property. We work closely with estate lawyers to ensure the process is compliant and protected.
Probate in Ontario can take anywhere from a few months to over a year depending on the complexity of the estate. We can often list a property before probate is granted with the right legal protections in place.
We meet with the executor to understand the estate situation and timeline.
We coordinate cleanouts, repairs, staging and photography at your pace.
We price and market the property to achieve the best possible result for the estate.
We liaise with the estate lawyer through to closing so the executor can focus on the family.
We have longstanding relationships with Burlington estate lawyers and financial advisors who specialize in probate real estate. Let us make the right introductions for your family.
