Probate & POA Home Sales – Oliver, Keremeos & South Okanagan
Power of Attorney Property Sales – South Okanagan Guidance
Selling a home due to Probate or Power of Attorney (POA) is rarely just a real estate decision. It often follows illness, loss, or a major life transition. The process involves legal authority, and family coordination.
My priority is simple: make this easier for the family while ensuring the sale is handled correctly, respectfully, and in full compliance with BC requirements.
What Is a Probate Home Sale?
Probate Home Sales in the South Okanagan
A probate home sale occurs when a property is sold as part of settling an estate after someone has passed away. The executor or administrator is responsible for acting in the best interest of the estate and beneficiaries.
In Oliver, Keremeos, Cawston, and surrounding communities, probate sales often involve:
- Detached homes
- Rural properties
- Manufactured homes in parks
- Long-held family properties
I assist executors by:
- Explaining the process in plain language
- Coordinating timelines with legal counsel
- Preparing the property appropriately for sale
- Pricing accurately using local market data
- Reducing risk, delays, and surprises
There is no assumption that selling immediately is required.
The goal is clarity first.
Power of Attorney (POA) Home Sales
A POA sale occurs when a homeowner is alive but unable to manage the transaction themselves, and a legally appointed attorney is acting on their behalf.
These transactions require careful handling to ensure:
- Proper authority is confirmed
- Documentation is complete
- Disclosure obligations are met
- The homeowner’s interests are protected
POA sales demand precision and patience. Errors can create legal exposure later. I take a methodical, documented approach to ensure the process is sound from the outset.
Making It Easy for the Family Is the Priority
During probate and POA sales, families are often juggling:
- Grief or health concerns
- Legal responsibilities
- Multiple opinions among beneficiaries
- Uncertainty about next steps
My role is to reduce that burden by:
- Explaining options clearly
- Managing details proactively
- Coordinating professionals when needed
- Providing steady, calm guidance
No pressure. No urgency tactics. Just a clear path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at jason@winecapitalrealty.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Timelines vary depending on authority to sell, property condition, and market conditions. Some probate sales proceed quickly, while others require additional preparation or court confirmation.
In some cases, yes, but authority must be confirmed. The home can be listed for sale on MLS but all offers need to be conditional to probate being completed. This should always be coordinated with legal counsel to avoid issues.
Only if the POA document specifically grants that authority. Verifying this early prevents delays later.
No, but there are some issues that can arise. Manufactured homes can not be listed or sold without a Silver Seal(labels) or CSA label intact. With proper planning, these issues can usually be resolved efficiently before the listing.
A silver Seal or CSA electrical certification confirms electrical compliance for manufactured homes. Real Estate Agents, Lenders, insurers, and conveyancers require it. No Manufactured home can be listed in BC without a Silver seal or CSA label intact.
Not always. Requirements depend on modifications, and documentation. Knowing when inspections and Silver Seals are actually required saves time and money.
No. Selling should align with the estate’s needs, legal requirements, and family circumstances.
