What happens if my heirs cannot afford taxes and upkeep on a house?

Question

At the moment, a large part of my family's wealth is tied up in property or a business rather than cash. At the moment, I am thinking about what happens when an estate has bills, taxes, maintenance, and professional fees before those assets can be sold. As things stand, the decision could affect roughly $45,000 in my situation, so I want to compare the tradeoffs instead of using a rule of thumb.

They may need estate cash, financing, a sale, or an agreement about contributions and ownership. When the options are compared, estate liquidity is the cash available to pay taxes, debts, administration costs, support needs, and property expenses after death. For the household plan, coordinate the investment decision with a CPA or tax professional when a sale or withdrawal could materially change taxable income.
