Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Probate Court Name] [Probate Court Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: [Estate of [Deceased's Full Name], Deceased] — Case No. [Probate Case Number] Dear Honorable [Judge's Last Name]: I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to request permission to file a Motion to Sell Property of the Estate in the above-referenced case. As the appointed executor/personal representative of the estate of [Deceased's Full Name], I believe it is in the best interest of the estate and its beneficiaries to proceed with the sale of a specific property owned by the estate, namely [Property Address]. Following the necessary due diligence and consultation with legal counsel, it has become evident that selling the property is both necessary and beneficial for several reasons: 1. Financial Stability: The estate lacks sufficient liquid assets to cover outstanding debts, ongoing expenses, and distribution of assets to the beneficiaries. Proceeds from the sale will aid in satisfying these obligations promptly and fairly. 2. Market Conditions: The current real estate market presents favorable conditions for selling the property at its highest possible value, maximizing the estate's equity and safeguarding the interests of the beneficiaries. 3. Estate Administration Efficiency: The sale of the property will expedite the probate process by eliminating the need for ongoing property management, maintenance costs, and potential legal disputes associated with continued possession. 4. Equal Distribution: Selling the property and converting it into liquid assets will allow for a fair and equitable distribution of the estate's assets among the beneficiaries, ensuring the estate's assets are dispersed as per the deceased's wishes. To support this motion, I have attached the following necessary documents: 1. Property Appraisal: A professional appraisal report of the property's fair market value, conducted by a licensed appraiser. 2. Comparative Market Analysis: A comprehensive analysis of recent similar property sales within the local area to justify the proposed listing price. 3. Proposed Sales Strategy: A detailed plan outlining the marketing and sales approach intended to attract potential buyers and secure the best offer within a reasonable time frame. 4. Notice of Proposed Sale: A proposed notice to be published, as required by law, notifying interested parties of the pending sale and providing them an opportunity to raise any legitimate concerns. Furthermore, I assure this honorable court that the net proceeds from the sale will be handled judiciously and applied towards the payment of debts, taxes, administrative expenses, and ultimately, the distribution of assets to the rightful beneficiaries. I kindly request a prompt hearing date for the motion and would be grateful if you could provide guidance on any additional requirements or procedures necessary to proceed with the sale. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your continued guidance and support mean a great deal to me as I fulfill my duties as the executor/personal representative. I look forward to your favorable response. Yours faithfully, [Your Name] [Executor/Personal Representative of the Estate of [Deceased's Full Name]]
