When preparing a probate home, one of the first questions PRs ask is: “Who pays for everything?”
As a 20-year REALTOR® at Watson Realty Corp Orlando FL, with 693+ homes sold, I help estates understand how expenses work in Orlando FL real estate 2025.

Estate Funds Typically Cover Property Costs

This includes:

  • Utilities

  • Lawn care

  • Cleaning

  • Locksmith services

  • Minor repairs

  • Trash removal

The personal representative manages these payments on behalf of the estate.

When the Estate Has Limited Funds

Some homes can be sold as-is to avoid upfront expenses. Others may require minimal safety repairs only.

What Repairs Are Mandatory?

None — unless required by:

  • Insurance

  • Safety issues

  • Court instructions
