Probate sale proceeds are not pocketed at the table, since the money enters the estate, debts and administration costs are settled under court supervision, and distribution to heirs follows the probate order. For a household weighing this question around a 1960s ranch with an aging roof on a block near the Dadeland job centers, the local record gives the question real weight, because builders acquired 25 of 36 older homes in the neighborhood sample, a builder demand rate of 69.4 percent (National Association of Realtors, 2025).The parcel record fixes lot size, build year, and permit history for the address (U.S. Census Bureau, 2025), while the county deed record shows who holds title and which entities have actually closed purchases on streets like these (Industry analyses, 2026). Report 154 treats that point as a document question first, because on a Postwar Grid ranch street the recorded file for a 1965 ranch near Sunset Drive settles arguments that opinions cannot.
