In simple terms, probate is the process which ensures that the property (estate) of someone who has died is distributed in accordance with governing laws. Instructions for the estate may have been provided in the form of a will or a living trust. It is the probate court that provides the authority to sell property that is part of the estate.
How can Enchante help?
Unfortunately, the probate process can be lengthy. This can result in the accumulation of expenses (such as real estate taxes or HOA fees) while the estate is waiting to be settled. Additionally, real estate market sales are still fairly slow, which adds to the time taken to sell the house. To prepare the house for selling, it may be necessary to clean the house, and pay for any needed repairs. We can help you avoid or minimize many of these expenses.
At Enchante, we can:
Our goals for you:
Speed up the process of freeing up the cash locked in the house
Help you avoid costly repairs needed to prepare the house for sale
