Selling a loved one’s property in South Australia? This supportive estate guide is here to help.
When the paperwork is just the beginning
Grief has no roadmap. And when a loved one passes, it often falls to someone close — an executor, a family member, or a trusted friend — to start making decisions that feel far more practical than emotional.
The property needs attention.
The paperwork starts arriving.
People are asking what’s happening next.
And in the middle of it all, there’s a home — full of memories, belongings, and emotion — waiting to be sorted, cleaned, and eventually sold.
It can feel like too much.
Even when you’re the “responsible one.”
Even when you’re trying to do the right thing.
You’re not alone in this
Estate sales happen quietly across South Australia every week — but they rarely feel routine for the people involved.
Whether you’re the named executor or simply trying to help your family through a difficult time, there’s no standard instruction booklet for what to do — or how to feel — when dealing with someone else’s property after they’ve passed.
That’s exactly why we created the Estate Sales & Executor Guide.
It’s a practical, thoughtful resource designed specifically for South Australians managing a property sale after a death in the family. And it’s free to download.
Why we wrote the guide
After working with families across Adelaide for over 35 years, we’ve seen just how emotionally complex an estate sale can be.
Often it’s not just about selling a house.
It’s about honouring someone’s memory.
Sorting through the practical side of grief.
And doing it all while juggling siblings, legal steps, finances, and your own personal response to the loss.
Sometimes families are united in the process. Other times, they’re navigating different opinions, different roles, and the emotional layers that come with it.
This guide was written to help you feel less alone, less overwhelmed, and more confident in knowing what steps to take — and when.
What’s inside the Estate Sales & Executor Guide?
This isn’t a legal textbook.
It’s not a checklist that assumes you’ve got it all under control.
And it’s definitely not a sales brochure.
It’s a grounded, easy-to-read guide designed to offer calm, clear support.
Inside, you’ll find:
- What to expect in the first weeks after someone passes
- Understanding probate, wills, and the executor role in South Australia
- Legal and financial matters you may not have considered
- How to prepare the property for sale — with minimal stress or overspending
- Guidance on real estate sales methods, agent selection, and timelines
- What to do after the sale — including family considerations and emotional closure
- A quiet final chapter called What Comes Next for those ready to take a breath
Every chapter is written in plain English, with gentle advice, practical tips, and a respectful tone.
When you’re not sure who to talk to
One of the hardest things about being an executor or taking responsibility for a family member’s estate is feeling like everyone’s waiting for you to “handle it.”
Sometimes, it’s not clear where to begin — especially when other people are grieving too.
If that’s where you’re at, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to figure it out in isolation.
Whether you just want to read quietly, or you’d like to talk through your next steps, we’re here when the time feels right.

Real support for real people
At Plaza Real Estate, we understand that selling property after a loved one passes is not just a task — it’s a responsibility often carried during a difficult time.
We’ve worked with children handling the sale of the family home.
With siblings trying to agree on next steps.
With long-time neighbours stepping in when no one else could.
And with executors trying to do the right thing, even when it’s not easy.
Our role is to offer calm, professional guidance — not pressure.
To help you navigate the process with clarity.
And to ensure your decisions are supported every step of the way.
We’re based right here in Adelaide.
We understand the local market, the legal processes, and most importantly — people.
You’re not expected to have all the answers
It’s okay to feel uncertain.
It’s okay to take your time.
And it’s absolutely okay to ask for help.
If you’re ready to talk, or just want to understand your options, we’re here — with no obligation, and no assumptions.
You’ve already taken one step by reading this far.
Let’s take the next one together, when you’re ready.
