Georgia sale rules
Yes. A personal representative—the person appointed to administer the estate—can sell estate real property before probate closes when the will grants a power of sale or the probate court authorizes it. Without that authority in the will, the representative must ask the probate court for permission. Being an heir or a named executor alone is not enough to sign. The will, appointment, court order, and title record determine who can convey.
Floyd County Probate Court is the local contact for probate questions. We can discuss the house with the person handling the estate and work alongside their attorney.
Georgia charges $1 for the first $1,000 of a home’s sale price or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally liable, though the contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and statutory exemptions may apply. Ask the closing company to show the tax and its allocation in the sale documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax. That does not pay a mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
