I meant no probate needed not private lol.

Why won't probate be needed?  Possibly it has already been obtained, but I don't think the executors will be able to sell the house and distribute the proceeds without it.

I don’t think it’s needed as the house was left in their name. But it was also 9 months since the parents passed so may of already got probate but when asked I swear she said it’s not needed. 

Who is 'she' who said Probate is not needed? It is easy for beneficiaries to misunderstand the legal process. 

So PLEASE get confirmation that Probate has been granted, or alternatively, a clear explanation of why it is not thought necessary. You should do this before you burn your bridges on the other property IMHO.

 

I said to the estate agent is probate sorted (I know it takes ages as we needed probate when my Nan passed away and the house was left to us in the will to sell) and the estate agent replied probate isn’t needed. So don’t worry about that then I’m pretty sure she said although I was looking at other stuff that the house was is the childrens name. As I heard her say to my sister a lot of people do that so they don’t have to deal with probate. 

However I will double check tomorrow. Even if probate was needed 9 months is plenty of time to of had it back. The property has only been on the market 3 weeks but the parent apparently died around 9 months ago. 

Thanks for your advice.

@badger09 How will that tell me? Do I pay for the title plan? 

Scrap that I got it. Paid &6 for title plan and title register. House was brought by the children in 2016 so no probate needed. Phew. 

Thank you saves me any worry @badger09
