Minors

If you leave the property to a minor, it will avoid probate, but before the home can be sold, the probate court will need to appoint a guardian of the estate to sign on the minor's behalf. Becuase it costs money for a home to be maintained (property tax, insurance, etc.) the home will likely be sold unless some else pays these costs or there is money left to the minor to cover them.  

​

Usually, the minor will inherit the property or money from the sale when they turn 18.  There will be court oversight of the funds until that time.  You will need an estate plan with special provisions for minors if you want to decide on a different age (30 is common) or pick who will manage the money until that age.
