The first months
Decide what to do with the house
Sell, keep, rent, or transfer to an heir. This is often the biggest single decision in the estate. Get a comparative market analysis from a local agent to know what selling would net. Add up the monthly cost of keeping it (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities) to know the alternative.
What you'll need
- A market estimate from a local agent
