An estate sale or estate liquidation is a sale or auction to dispose of a substantial portion of the materials owned by a person who is recently deceased or who must dispose of his or her personal property to facilitate a move.〔(Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary )〕 ==Reasons for an estate sale== The most common reason for an estate sale is the death of the property owner,〔("Top Reasons For Having An Estate Sale" - Estate Sales By The Numbers )〕 and the consequent need to quickly liquidate the deceased's belongings for any number of reasons: *The survivors/heirs may have no interest in the bulk of the personal belongings left by the deceased *The survivors/heirs may simply lack space to keep the belongings *The survivors/heirs cannot agree to the disposition of tangible property, and thus a court has order the goods to be sold in an estate sale with the proceeds to be divided among the survivors (after payment of the estate's debts) *The will of the deceased may have mandated a sale of assets An estate sale may also occur because the property owner will be moving or has moved into a new residence where he will be unable to keep his property, such as an assisted living facility, a retirement community, a rest home, or the home of a family member. An estate sale may also take place because of divorce, foreclosure, or relocation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Estate sale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
