You're a son or a daughter, and something changed — a fall, a diagnosis, a call from a neighbour. The house is one problem in a week full of them, and nobody has handed you an order to do things in.
Before anything about selling, there's a sequence. Getting it out of order is what turns a hard few months into a hard couple of years.
Power of attorney, an estate appointment, or a name on title. If that isn't sorted, nothing else can be signed — and it's the step people discover last.
Forty years of things, and most of it can't just go in a bin. This is the part people dread most, and it's the part I don't ask you to do.
As it stands today, not after work nobody is going to do. The gap between those two numbers is the whole decision.
Sometimes a sale has to fund care. Sometimes it can wait a year and shouldn't be rushed. Those are completely different situations.
This is the one thing on my site that helps someone who will never sell me anything. That's deliberate. If you read it, sort the house out yourself and I never hear from you again, that's a fine outcome.
No cost, and you never have to speak to me to use it.
