Authority Mistakes That Delay Sales
Common Errors and Their Consequences
Most probate delays are self-inflicted.
Common mistakes include signing contracts before Letters are issued, marketing property without authority, misrepresenting powers, or relying on outdated advice.
These actions are rarely malicious. They are procedural errors.
Courts do not correct them quietly. They respond with additional review, delay, or rejection.
Avoiding these mistakes requires understanding how authority functions today, not as it once did.
