It’s really hard to lose someone you love. You can’t prepare for that, even if you had time to ‘get familiar with a thought of losing someone close to you’. There are many feelings that you experience, there are so many things you need to do – and having someone by your side, who will take care of these legal things it’s a huge relief. It can be a family solicitor, who will gently help you and your dearest go through this time and sort out all things. And sometimes, that also means, you will be left with a ‘probate property’ that you might want to sell. Of course, you can take your time, but you might face an inheritance tax that you’ll need to pay to the taxman. So if you decide you want to sell the property on, allow other family to live there and make their own memories there, and at the same time make sure the sale will be quick – home staging can help you with that. Home staging a probate property can not only increase the value that it is worth but it can also attract right people who will be buying their next home. At the end of the day, a home that has been occupied for a long time and had so many happy memories made within, deserves to be sold onwards to respectful new owners. What are your thoughts on probate properties and how to best handle them?
