Start With Authority And Inventory

The first goal is understanding what property exists and who can authorize the sale.

Brad Olson Auctions can work with authorized estate representatives to review qualified personal property, identify important categories and develop an auction plan.

Protect Important Property

Do not discard collections, firearms, coins, equipment or titled assets before they are reviewed.

Document The Process

Clear scope, auction terms and seller accounting help the representative understand responsibilities.

Coordinate Deadlines

Property closing, possession, probate and family timelines can affect when an auction should occur.

What An Executor Can Send

You do not need a finished estate inventory to begin the auction conversation.

Wide photographs and a description of the property are enough for an initial review.

Useful estate information

  • Estate or decedent name for your records
  • Property city and state
  • Your role and authority to make sale decisions
  • Important deadlines
  • Main asset categories
  • Any firearms, coins, vehicles, equipment or significant collections
Estate antiques and household property considered for auction
Common Questions

Questions executors ask about estate auctions

Do I need court approval before calling an auctioneer?

You can discuss the property before every legal step is complete, but confirm authority to enter a sale agreement with the appropriate professional.

Should family members remove items first?

Only after authority and distribution decisions are clear. Valuable categories can be overlooked when property is removed too quickly.

Can the auction company provide a probate appraisal?

Brad Olson Auctions provides auction-related review and sale services, not legal, tax or certified appraisal services.

Can you handle a mixed estate?

Yes. Qualified estates may include household property, antiques, vehicles, equipment, firearms, coins and collections.

How is seller settlement documented?

Seller accounting is handled according to the written auction agreement and completed sale.
