Receive Authority To List: Full / Limited Authority

The first step in the management of the sale of a probate property is to be granted permission to list the property. In a probate case , there are two kinds of authority that may be delegated to Executors and Administrators. The Full Authority grants Executors and controls the authority to act with less oversight on behalf of the estate. However, Limited Authority includes further court supervision, including an added court hearing to allow any overbids.
