An executor or administrator appointed by the Connecticut Probate Court can pursue a sale while the estate is open. If the will specifically gives the executor power to sell real estate, separate Probate Court approval is not required. Otherwise, the estate fiduciary must ask the Probate Court to approve the sale. The petition includes the purchase contract and proof of fair market value, such as an appraisal or market analysis; the court reviews whether the sale is in the estate's best interests.
Heirs and beneficiaries can waive notice, which may speed up the process. If the will leaves the house to a specific person, that person can sign a consent to the sale.
Before closing, the title company will usually want certificates releasing any Connecticut estate-tax and probate-fee liens on the property. The Probate Court issues the certificates; for a taxable estate, the Department of Revenue Services releases the estate-tax lien.
Connecticut's real estate conveyance tax applies when a deed is recorded for a sale of $2,000 or more, unless an exemption applies. For a home, the state rate is 0.75% on the first $800,000, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% above $2.5 million. Towns also charge 0.25%; some eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. The exact amount and any exemption depend on the transaction.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes.
