The lawyer handling closing verifies the executor's authority through the grant of probate or letters probate before title can transfer through ISC, and legal fees for that work typically run $800 to $1,500, sometimes more depending on the estate's complexity.
Adjustments for property tax, utilities and any outstanding condo fees are prorated to possession day the same as in any other sale. Commission itself is negotiable and often tiered rather than a flat single rate on the whole price.
An executor benefits from a documented, defensible valuation before listing, since that number supports both the sale and the estate accounting. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
