When a property has more than one legal owner, selling it requires a bit more coordination — here’s what that looks like.

Every owner needs to agree and sign

Unless one heir has been given specific authority (like power of attorney or executor status), all owners typically need to consent to and sign off on a sale.

Proceeds are usually split by ownership share

This is often defined by the will or by state inheritance law if there’s no will, and it’s worth confirming exact percentages before you get to closing.

Distance and scheduling don’t have to slow things down

Remote closings and electronic signatures mean heirs living in different states can usually complete a sale without needing to be in the same place.

If you’re the one coordinating between multiple heirs, we can help make the actual sale process the easy part.
