Private auctions - used for the auction of personal assets from an estate where legacy transfers were omitted and the decedent was intestate (i.e., had no will). This auction method is conducted using a pre-determined spending limit for each auction attendee (typically members of a family) and allows the buyer to bid on the item(s) that they wish to purchase within their spending allowance (often no money is exchanged by the buyers in this process). The private selling at auction process is a helpful tool for the executor who is experiencing challenges in resolving incomplete legacy instructions from a decedent.
