Probate Real Estate Sales are "As is"

When listing and selling Probate and Trust Real Estate properties, most of these properties are sold "as is." This means that the seller does not make any warranties or representations and the property will be sold in it's present condition. Most sellers of probate properties will not do or pay for any repairs due to any defects on the property. Because the estate seller of the property has never lived in it or is familiar with the condition of the property, the estate is in no position to disclose defects.

In other words, if you are interested in purchasing a probate or trust property, it is very important that you conduct a full property inspection before writing an offer or going under contract. It's very important that the buyer is completely aware of the condition of the property and does all his/her discovery so they truly know the condition of the property.
