Let Us Guide You Through This Difficult Time.
Being an executor or personal representative can be stressful because most people have never done it before and may only do it once. As Certified Probate Experts, we surround you an empathetic team of caring professionals to make sure that you understand your options and have the best advice possible. If you haven’t yet secured the services of a competent probate attorney, we can help you choose one whose good work we know and are comfortable recommending.
We’ll help you at every step along the way and do everything possible to steer you clear of the minefields we’ve encountered in our experience. You may still have to make some tough decisions as you navigate the process, but having us as an advisor by your side makes the task significantly less challenging.
Do you need to dispose of real or personal property quickly?
We will help you determine specifically what the most critical objective or objectives are regarding the property that’s involved.
We can provide immediate cash buyers from our list of qualified investors. Often, this is vital to 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. Our investors can often make offers within 24 hours on almost any property and can close when needed. Sometimes, funds can even be advanced prior to closing. 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 maximize the selling price to provide the greatest cash benefit to the heirs/stakeholders?
When maximum revenue is the focus, we’ll make certain the property is marketed 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 and we’ll help you determine any possible repairs (if any) that might add more to the final selling price than their cost – in other words, the greatest bang for the buck.
What If You Are The Attorney?
We work especially well in these situations. 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 advisor. 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 about any aspect of the process in which we are involved – especially when it comes to fielding offers on the real estate.
In some cases, the family or executor / personal advisor will want ALL aspects of the probate to be handled completely by the attorney. In these cases, we’ll work with you as “the client” regarding the real estate, just as we would with the executor / personal advisor.
We have focused our efforts on working in this unique area of Trusts and Probate because we feel it allows us to not only perform a much-needed service to people in times of great stress but also because it is a place where we can differentiate our level of expertise from others who are not as focused in this niche. We’ve taken the time to and made the investment to properly prepare to assist you. If you’d like some general information, please review our list of Frequently Asked Probate Questions.
