Sell the home

You can start the process of selling the home by finding a real estate agent near you using this form.

If the home is worth more than you owe on it, the difference will go to the beneficiaries. You may want to do this, or have to do this, for many reasons:

• The beneficiary doesn’t want the home

• The mortgage is too expensive

• The value of the home should be split among multiple beneficiaries

• The home must be sold to pay off other debts

  • In some states, creditors must be paid before beneficiaries get anything. In others, creditors can’t force the sale of the house. If this happens, contact an estate attorney.
