Listing After Loss

Losing someone you love is hard enough—figuring out what to do with their home shouldn't make it harder. If you’re navigating this transition, please know: you're not alone.

In Georgia, a loved one's home often carries both memories and legal responsibilities. Whether the property is in probate, held in a trust, or co-owned, understanding your options can help bring peace—and prevent costly missteps.

Before you list the home, focus on calm over chaos. Make sure it's secure, locate key documents like the will and title, and talk with family about next steps. When you’re ready, work with a compassionate real estate professional who understands that this sale isn’t just about property—it’s about people, legacy, and healing.

At Harris Home Team, we help families through these sensitive transitions every day, with grace and care.
