Probate solutions

Probate real estate refers to properties that are part of a deceased person's estate and are subject to the probate process. This process involves validating the deceased's will, if one exists, and distributing the estate's assets according to legal guidelines. During probate, the estate is managed by an executor or administrator who is responsible for selling or transferring the real estate. Understanding probate real estate is crucial for beneficiaries, as it can influence how quickly and efficiently assets are passed on, impacting both emotional and financial aspects.

Probate may not be necessary if the deceased had a living trust, as assets can be transferred without going through probate. Additionally, if the property was jointly owned with rights of survivorship, it typically transfers directly to the surviving owner. However, if no such arrangements exist, probate is required to distribute the deceased's assets.

If there's a will, the executor named will handle the probate process. If there's no will, the court will appoint an administrator, often a family member.

A property valuation is the process of determining the market value of a real estate property. This is usually conducted by a probate referee or a licensed appraiser who assesses various factors such as location, condition, and market trends. Typically, the price is set at no less than 90% of the appraised value.
