My family member passed away and I need advice how to start the process of their estate
The process of selling a property in Poland
1. You need to make sure who owns the property. Check ksiega wieczysta. Is it the person who has died?
2. Make sure who is listed in the Last Will and testament and if you have any claim.
3. Pay off all outstanding debts - if it is you.
4. Put the property in the hands of an estate agent/realtor.
5. Seek professional advice re tax obligations.
6. Register with the Tax Office that you have been given the property in the Will, that it is inheritance.

A good piece of advice is to actually be in Poland to do paperwork. Otherwise, it can take a lot of time, especially if you have to hire an attorney. They need your data/signature verification and it cannot be done by a regular public notary, but most likely it should be a certified Polish power of attorney.
BTW- learn about taxes in Poland. In general, selling an inheritance property before 5 years from the year you received it will require to pay a gain tax. It's best, if you can, to wait more than 5 years to avoid this tax, but there are some nuances which don't always apply.
