 TITLE: What Is a Probate Sale? CONTENT: What to Know Before Buying a Probate Sale Property\n--------------------------------------------------\nBuying a probate property comes with its own unique pros and cons. On top of the additional upfront funds that may be required, these kinds of sales could be inherently riskier than traditional home sales. Since the owner is no longer living, you won't be able to ask questions about the property or have them disclose any important issues with the home. This makes it that much more important to hire a qualified home inspector who can identify potentially costly problems.\nSince probate sales are known for being complex, you may also want to partner with a real estate attorney who has experience handling these types of transactions. They should be able to help you navigate the tricky legal terrain of the probate process, and advise you whether it makes sense to move forward. END
