What is Probate Court & Estate Sales?

It is the legal process of transferring real estate from a Will of a loved one to his or her Heirs. Probate Court must determine if the Decedent has a Will (Testate) or has No Will (Intestate) and decides who should legally be designated as the Personal Representative (PR) of the Estate. The PR has the responsibility to make all legal decisions affecting the ownership of the real estate property.

This process can be very daunting for families, which is why you need a Realtor®/Broker who knows the Probate Codes and specializes in assisting families through those challenges.

The first step is to hire an Attorney followed by hiring a Certified Probate Estate Sales Agent/Broker. During this Probate Journey, being aware that you might need other services such as a Financial Advisor or Tax Accountant is why an experienced Probate Estate Specialist Realtor® can help to explain and provide further assistance.
