What Do I Do With the House After a Relative Dies?
If you are the sole responsible person that’s in charge when a relative passes away you may have some questions to consider in regards to personal property and real estate.
First know, you are not alone. There are many people in your same situation and when you don’t know what to do, there are answers and people that know how to deal with them.
A Probate Realtor is specifically skilled to handle real estate, houses, property and land when a relative dies and you are not sure how to proceed. As a dedicated and certified Probate Realtor for California, I can help you discuss options, negotiate with lawyers and deal with the state, county and city in the proper fashion.
To properly handle the real estate you will need to collect certain documents about the property.
- Insurance Policies
- Annuities
- Deeds and Titles or Verification of the property
- Any mortgage information
As your Probate Realtor it is my job to negotiate with the banks and the state on the best use of your property should you choose to sell it. Because there often is much to be done with the property I can help you organize and facilitate certain projects at your cost such as:
- Offer a Professional Market Analysis Reports
- Arrange to get a Professional Termite Report.
- Internet marketing (virtual tours, extensive website exposure.)
- Advise on potential cosmetic enhancements and property repairs that will add disproportionate value to the property and aid in marketing time.
- Handle any key or lock issues.
- Coordinate cleaning out and cleaning up property.
- Supervise and organize the cleaning crews, haulers, painters, carpet installers, estate liquidators, etc.
- Organize shipping of personal items.
- Make court appearances with attorneys.
- Provide you the list of Disclosures for a Probate Property.
- Provide you the list of Delays offered to the privileged clients.
