How do I protect an inherited home?

Protecting an inherited home starts with securing it physically, keeping homeowner's insurance active so it does not lapse into a vacant-property gap, and confirming the executor's legal authority to act before making any major decisions about repairs or sale. Staying current on property tax payments matters too, since unpaid taxes can accumulate into a lien while an estate sits unresolved. An estate attorney should confirm the specific legal steps for the estate in question. Joel Boss can provide a current valuation so the family knows what is at stake while those steps get sorted out.
