<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">These are great points, but in the current hot real estate market, there is also an argument to be made in favor of listing the property and seeing what offers come in. I have had a couple of
recent probates where we did this and received substantially more for the property than the offer from an heir/friend/neighbor and more than the appraised price at date of death. In one case with high end water front property, we felt that we had to list
it and see what offers we received to know what the property was really worth in the current market. The heir made an offer below the listing price and we received several other offers at or above the listing price.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Paul,<br>
<br>
I would encourage the PR to try to set aside personal feelings had about this heir. I assume that heir isn’t asking the estate to extend a loan, but rather that heir would go out and get a bank loan just like any other purchaser might do.<br>
<br>
As a practical matter, a lot of people can’t afford to buy homes in this market. If the home were appraised, as Dalynne suggested, heir could pay a little less than the appraised value, but the estate would still avoid paying realtor’s costs- so a great net
profit to the estate. Both estate and heir win.<br>
This is a common compromise in family matters when one spouse wants to buy out another’s interest in community property upon divorce.<br>
<br>
Will other beneficiaries learn that they could have received greater net proceeds from this sale if PR could have brought hims/herself to put aside personal differences? The PR does have an obligation to act in the best interest of the estate.<br>
<br>
More importantly, this creates goodwill. If the PR turns down heir and sells on the open market, the great likelihood is that there will precipitate a family feud that will run generations. <br>
<br>
I believe that a part of our job is to encourage our clients to exercise the powers given to them in a just manner. Have them consider the pros and the cons of not selling to the heir. One pro is that PR avoid dealing with heir who is a pain. What are the
other benefits of selling on the open market to a neutral buyer? Is there more than PR hasn't shared with you? What are the hazards?<br>
<br>
If you have this conversation with the PR, and the PR is okay about the possible negative consequences, then you’ve done your job. But, if you don’t have this conversation, it’s a lost opportunity. <br>
<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Listmates, my client is the PR/heir with nonintervention powers. Another heir is attempting to force a purchase of real property from the estate. It'll create a problem
with logistics because the beneficiary would need a loan and PR doesn't want to deal (literally) with the other heir. So, the question is: Does the PR have the power and authority to list the real property with a realtor and ignore the heir? It is likely
that the real property would need to be sold to pay for the costs of administration of the estate (it’s a sole asset estate). I’m thinking that because the PR has sole authority to deal with the intestate assets, the PR has the right and power to sell the
property to a third party without liability to the other heir. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
