PROBATES ARE NEVER EASY!
Whether you are a newly appointed executor or personal representative or an attorney that has been retained by the estate or appointed by the court. It’s a guarantee there will be difficult moments ahead during the process.
First, there are the obvious emotional aspects of the situation. Often, the person who has been chosen as the executor or personal representative usually is a family member, or close friend dealing with the deceased person’s probate issues and is still grieving over the loss of that loved one or friend.
Then, that same person is faced with the added challenge of having to make many decisions and allot of those decisions will be uncomfortable and will go on for month’s on-end in areas in which they have no previous experience or understanding.
These decisions must also be made with the added pressure of knowing that whatever the outcome of these decisions will be very closely scrutinized and second-guessed by family members and/or friends and the court. Couple this with the legitimate concerns that everything must be handled “legally and properly” and the pressure and the stress will really begin to multiply.
If there is no property to be disposed of by the personal representative or executor, this job is still a big undertaking, then add Real Estate into the equation the process is compounded, not only by paperwork, timelines, deadlines, third parties such as the buyer(s) also for concern will be the physical condition and repairs of the property which will be daunting.
THINKING ABOUT SELLING THE REAL ESTATE THAT’S INCLUDED IN THE PROBATE?
Here’s where we can really help you. First, we will determine specifically what the most critical objectives are for you in regard to the real estate that’s involved in the probate.
IF YOU NNED TO SELL YOUR PROPERTY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, WE HAVE YOUR SOLUTION!
We would provide Immediate cash buyers from our list of qualified Investors. Often, this will allow a surviving spouse to move into a more suitable location, handle medical or other bills or simply get asset funds into the hands of the heirs quickly. With our Investors they can make offers within 24 hours on almost any property and can close as quickly as needed. Sometimes, funds can even be advanced prior to closing with special arrangements. Of course, timelines are frequently subject to the courts and filing timelines which are beyond our control, but our efforts minimize these delays whenever possible.
DO YOU NEED TO GET THE MOST MONEY BY SELLING TO PROVIDE THE GREATEST CASH BENEFITS TO THE HEIRS AND STAKEHOLDERS?
When maximum revenue is the focus, we’ll make certain the property is listed properly, but marketed aggressively and intelligently to assure maximum exposure. We’ll make sure you know exactly what the property is worth if you are willing to wait for the right buyer, we’ll help you determine any possible repairs (if any) that might add more to the final selling price – in other words, the greatest bang for the buck. Be aware that all too often. Ill-informed sellers spend far too much on repairs that do not even cover their cost in the final sale price. This is where our experience, preparation and savvy marketing skills come into play.
WHAT IF YOU ARE THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PROBATE?
We will work harmoniously with you! Typically, the attorney of record has one of two roles. They are either appointed to the task by the court or selected by the family or executor / personal representative. If you’ve been court-appointed, then your role is usually focused strictly on the legal issues regarding any transactions and dispersal of assets. However, if you are retained by the family or the executor / personal representative, your role usually extends to include a more advisory capacity as well. In either case, we will at all times keep you well-informed with our involvement – especially when it comes to fielding offers on the real estate.
Over several years, based on personal experiences, we have developed a keen awareness of the challenges associated with dealing with properties in probate and Estate Trust Issues.
