Who can sign for the estate?
The probate-court-appointed personal representative handles the sale; an heir cannot sign just because they are an heir. 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. See RSMo §473.783 and §473.810. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor may sell under that power; see RSMo §473.457.
In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. The representative petitions the court, gives required notice to heirs and devisees, and files a report of sale for court approval; interested people may object before approval. See RSMo §473.460, §473.493, and §473.513. Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
A mortgage, lien, or estate claim does not disappear when the owner dies; it must be paid or released for the buyer to receive clear title.
Missouri transfer taxes and deed-recording fees
Missouri's Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on real-estate sales or transfers after December 2, 2010. See Mo. Const. art. X, §25. State law sets deed-recording fees at $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges; see RSMo §59.310, §59.319, and §59.800.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
