Do I need to go to probate court to sell my house?

Please accept my condolence on the loss of your husband. As for your question, there is literally no way that anyone online can tell you what you need to do in order to sell your house, because the answer depends on how the home was owned at your husband's death. If you and your husband owned the house as joint tenants with rights of survivorship (which means that the deed not only lists both of you as owners but also that it contained language clearly stating that you owned the property as joint tenants or with rights of survivorshp- just your names without the other language means you owned it in a different kind of joint ownership), then the house is already yours and you can sell it without doing anything else. You will just need to provide a certified copy of the death certificate (the green copy with the seal on it) when you sell. If you and your husband owned the property jointly, but NOT as joint tenants, then his half of the property is part of his estate and you will either need to offer his Will for probate and get an Executor appointed for his estate in order to handle his interest in the house OR you will need to make a claim for a Year's Support and have his interest in the property awarded to you that way. If the house was owned solely in your name, or in only your trust, you don't have to do anything. If the house was owned solely in your husband's name, then you have to either probate or make the year's support claim, but for all of the property instead of only his share. If the house was owned solely in your husband's trust, then you shouldn't have to probate, but you will need to deal with the trust and make sure that the Trustee takes whatever steps are needed to either help sell the house or distribute it to you so you can sell it. Do NOT try to do any of those things on your own, and DO NOT rely on this answer. Get a consultation with an experienced probate attorney before you decide what to do or file anything with the probate court. The attorney will need to review the deed, the Will, and the trust and understand the actual facts of your situation and provide you with advice. Best wishes to you.
