[Discuss an estate or trust project ](https://shopquirkla.com/request-estate-sale-consultation/) ## Working With the Authorized Personal Representative Our team works with the legally authorized executor, administrator, trustee, owner or representative. A family member or property contact may coordinate access and logistics, but only the authorized client may approve reserved items, specialty channels, material expenses or changes to the engagement. ## Documentation Before Setup For probate estates, we may request reasonable documentation confirming authority. Clients should consult their probate attorney regarding court approval, beneficiary notice, any limits on the representative’s powers and other estate-specific requirements. The [California Courts’ personal-representative duties summary](https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/jcc-form/DE-147) is a useful starting reference. ## Records for Probate Estate Sales Before signing, confirm the transaction records, reporting detail, authorized deductions and payment provisions in the proposed agreement. Explain any estate-specific documentation needs so the sale process can be scoped accordingly. Ordinary high-volume merchandise may be recorded by category, quantity or bundle. Items requiring individual final-sale-price reporting should be identified in writing before setup begins. ## When Property Needs a Specialty Market Some art, jewelry, fashion, furniture or collectibles may be better suited to an auction house, dealer or other specialist. No item is removed or consigned without written authorization and any additional probate approval that may be required.

A few overview photographs can help frame the scope. Initial screening does not require uploading a will, account statements or other private estate records. See the estate-sale process and questions to settle before an engagement, then send preliminary details.
