Description
Selling property from a deceased estate stirs profound emotions and risks disputes among family members. Yet a structured approach can maximise value, provide fair closure, and honour the deceased's legacy.
In this episode Jarrod discusses:

- Defining sale goals, from joint ownership to buyouts, with tips on independent valuations
- Balancing legal timelines like probate and capital gains tax (CGT) exemptions with market conditions for optimal timing

- A real case study of resolving a sibling dispute through transparent auction processes
