Missouri probate rules and deed-recording fees
Who can sign for the estate?
The personal representative—the executor or administrator appointed by the probate court—handles the sale for the estate. An heir acting alone cannot sign just because they inherited the house. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit.
In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. The representative petitions the court, gives notice to heirs and devisees, and reports the sale for court approval. Interested people may object before approval. A will may also give an executor power to sell under its terms.

Questions and contact
Questions about selling an inherited house in Liberty, MO
Can we sell the house before probate is finished?
Often, yes. The personal representative appointed by the probate court handles the estate sale; an heir acting alone cannot sign. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. The representative petitions, gives notice to heirs and devisees, and reports the sale for court approval; interested people may object before approval. A will may also give an executor power to sell under its terms.
Who can sign for the estate?
The court-appointed personal representative—the executor or administrator—handles the sale for the estate. Being an heir alone does not give you authority to sign for it.
Do I need to put the house in my own name before selling it?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Do we have to clear the house or make repairs?
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Keep the belongings your family wants; the rest can stay with the house.
What happens to a mortgage, lien, or estate claim?
A mortgage, lien, or estate claim must be paid or released for the buyer to receive clear title. Those amounts affect what the estate keeps from the sale and are separate from closing costs.
