On the agenda
What You’ll Learn
A webinar with two voices. 43 minutes to leave with a clear roadmap for what comes next.
Who Has the Right to Decide, and to Sell
The liquidator named in the will is the one who decides. We explain their role, the search for a will, and the declaration of transmission — the notarial act without which no sale can be signed.
Sell, Keep, or Buy Out — Depending on Your Situation
Each option carries legal, tax, and financial consequences. We show you what to check before deciding as a group, and why setting a realistic price from the start avoids most conflicts between heirs.
A Clear Action Plan to Move Forward
By the end of the webinar, you’ll know what order to act in, who to talk to first, and what questions to ask your notary and your broker — so you can sell at the right price and protect every heir.
What about taxes? We devoted a second webinar to them, with a tax specialist: watch the October 6 recording.
