How long does it take to list an estate for auction?

On October 16, 2009 / By Estate Planning Help / In Estate-Plan

Just curious as to a time frame, from the time an auctioneer comes to the home to inspect & list items, to the length of time to advertise for the auction, to the day it all sells.

I am settling my grandmothers estate and planning on using an auction service to sell her home & belongings. As I live quite a distance away, I’d like to know what sort of time frame is involved, since I cannot make it back & forth to her hometown often.

Thanks.

    Depends on just how much she has inside the house, a complete inventory can be done by the auction company but you have to meet them and go thru the estate with them. You could go thru things fairly quickly, one day should be sufficient.
