Real property held in trust, managed by a successor trustee for the benefit of beneficiaries, requires specialized expertise to navigate successfully.Trust sales are governed by state laws and often involve court proceedings, making astute management by a probate realtor essential to safeguard the assets for the long-term benefit of the beneficiaries.

Probate, a legal process overseeing the distribution of assets, including real property, to heirs, can be intricate and highly regulated according to probate law.In this supervised court procedure, the transfer of legal title for real property to a buyer involves specific disclosures, procedural requirements, and critical deadlines. The ultimate objective of these real estate sales is to benefit the estate and we are here to ensure this probate process is as seamless and advantageous as possible.

When an individual is unable to manage their own care or assets, the court may appoint a responsible party as a conservator.This conservator assumes a fiduciary responsibility, often necessitating the sale of real property for the benefit of the conservatee. Similar to trust and probate proceedings, the sale of real property through conservatorship occurs through a closely monitored legal process. We provide expert guidance to ensure that these transactions are executed with precision and result in the best possible outcome for all involved parties.
