        "text": "You are not legally required to clean out or stage a probate property before selling, but it is often a strategic decision. A clean, clutter-free, and well-presented home can attract more buyers and potentially command a higher sale price. For properties in areas like Miami or Fort Lauderdale, where the market is competitive, a well-staged home can make a significant difference. Consider the practical tradeoff: investing in a clean-out or minor staging can improve marketability, but the estate must have the resources and time to do so.",
