The most important thing when selling property of an estate is to be sure you have given the public an opportunity to bid on or buy the property.

When you sell assets for the benefit of an Estate, as long as the seller agreement is truthful and the surrogate judge approves the sale, you can use any contract that properly sells the property.
Good Luck!

There are not specific contract terms other than listing the true owners name. Most often you will be acting for “ The Estate of ____” so that language may be necessary.

You may close at any title company. You should have your letters of administration which grants you the authority.
The property has back taxes since 2010 and is in Rusk county tx. I want to contact owners but can't locate them.
