The Complete Timeline: What to Expect When Selling an Inherited House in Maryland
Arie Kopman – Probate Property Advocate
There are few moments in life more disorienting than losing someone you love — and then realizing you’re responsible for everything they left behind.
For many families, that includes a home.
Suddenly, words like probate, estate administration, and court filings appear in conversations that feel overwhelming at best and impossible at worst. You may not even be thinking about selling yet. You may simply be trying to get through the day.
If that’s where you are, you’re not alone.
As a Property Probate Advocate, I work with families across Maryland who find themselves in this exact place — grieving, unsure where to start, and carrying a responsibility they never could have anticipated. This article isn’t meant to overwhelm you with legal steps or court forms. Instead, it’s meant to let you know I understand — and to gently explain what probate generally involves, what tends to happen over time, and most importantly: why you don’t have to navigate this alone.
