Have the basics ready before that first conversation: whether probate has been granted or is still in progress, who the named executor is, and roughly how long the home has been vacant, since an empty property needs vacant coverage confirmed with the insurer sooner rather than later. Expect legal fees on the estate side of $800 to $1,500.
Joel will want to walk the home in person to document improvements a public record cannot show, since the Canada Revenue Agency's deemed disposition value depends on the property's actual condition at the date of death, not on a City of Saskatoon assessment from years earlier.
From there he coordinates with the executor's lawyer on timing so the sale moves at the pace probate allows rather than faster or slower. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
