Should you find yourself in that position, you should look to a REALTOR® with a CPRES® certification such as myself. I received my training through US Probate Services, an organization dedicated to aiding people through a stress-filled transaction, to help you as a seller avoid legal hassles over wills, estates and asset distribution to heirs. Additionally, there are probate-specific details that your agent needs to stay on top of, such as using the proper probate contracts, listing the home as a probate property, and making disclosures specific to probate.

In addition to being that trusted adviser, some of the advantages that I bring as a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist include:

• Selling expertise with an eye toward minimizing risk for disagreement between heirs;
• Help with inspections, bids, home repairs;
• Access to an extensive network and resources, especially important when the heirs live out of town;
• Support during the probate process; and,
• Knowledge of estate settlements and wills.

Please review my blogs, articles and sponsored writings for more information.

I look forward to being of help to you should you find yourself in need.
