Probate Real Estate Done Right
Probate is the formal, court-supervised process of transferring property and ownership after someone has died. It involves validating a decedent's last will and testament, resolving outstanding debts and taxes, and distributing assets to the rightful heirs.
An Executor is named in the will of the decedent, but sometimes the person didn't have a will. Dying without a will is also known as intestate. In such a case the court will appoint a Personal Representative, which is an heir. The responsibility of both is to handle the estate.
The loss of a loved one is never easy. Settling an estate of a loved one often involves the sale of their home. Some loved ones pass away with a will and some don't. Regardless of whether you have been assigned to be a personal representative or executor for an estate, Michael Seward understands the process. And he charges less while doing more than ordinary real estate agents.
