Sale of Residence Affirmed

It was proper for the Orphans’ Court to approve the sale of the decedent’s residence to a third party for $150,000 rather than allow the heir who occupied the property to purchase her half of the property in monthly installments of $1,000 because the sale to the third party would provide cash to the estate that would allow the administrator “to alleviate the ongoing expenses of the residence, to settle the debts of the estate, to pay the inheritance tax, and to make appropriate distribution of the remaining balance of the estate funds to the heirs, all within a reasonable time.” In re: Estate of Constance Grace Patterson, 1173 WDA 2023 (Pa. Super. 7/22/2024) (non-precedential).
