Do I have to wait for probate to sell an inherited Summerville home?

Selling an inherited Summerville home usually requires probate to open first, since a personal representative needs legal authority from the court to sign a contract and convey title. Some small estates qualify for a simplified process that moves faster than full probate. Brian Beatty can list a Summerville property while probate is underway in many cases, timed so the sale closes once the personal representative is appointed.
