When someone suffers a death of a family or friend, there may be legal proceedings that are necessary regarding their property. These legal proceedings can take time and be complicated. With the help of a professional to navigate the legal proceedings, you can avoid frustrating problems and delays that you might otherwise have to overcome. As an attorney and a real estate broker, I know there are a lot of questions and issues that need explaining. Being a Realtor accustomed to probate court sales as well as a probate attorney, Marc Grossman brings unparalleled experience to Grossman Real Estate clients.
The simple answer is no, you do not have to have a Realtor or a Lawyer and can handle the processes yourself if you are able. There are statutes, regulations, rules, timelines and requirements that have to be navigated and failure to properly do so can have serious consequences. And whereas other probate realtors can explain some things about the process, they cannot give you legal advice because they are not qualified to do so. Probate real estate matters have differing requirements regarding the forms, disclosures, pricing criteria and notices that are required. If legal issues or problems arise regarding the sale, the broker is not able to provide legal advice and would advise his clients of this and that they should consult with a real estate attorney. Similarly, if you have a probate attorney, they may not be able to answer all your questions regarding the real estate transaction and related disclosure requirements that a real estate broker could. Though no one is required to have either an attorney or a realtor for a real estate transaction, Real Estate Broker and Attorney Marc Grossman can help you in ways that other Realtors simply are not qualified to do. If you are now, or will be an executor to an estate, you have the burden and responsibilities of dealing with all property, real and personal, and Grossman Real Estate has the experience that matters to be able to get you through it.
Everything in a Probate proceeding is subject to the Court’s jurisdiction. In addition to all the laws, statutes, rules, regulations, municipal and disclosure requirements which exist, the Probate Court requires detailed accountings regarding everything about the disposal of any property including the price, proposed terms of sale, disposition of funds and other issues affecting the Estate of the decedent. Issues may arise regarding inspections, repairs, compliance with local codes as well as with any outstanding loans or liens on the property. At Grossman Real Estate, it is our expectation that our clients will require help with such matters and we are prepared to provide all such assistance necessary to make things as easy as possible for our clients to get through the process of selling real estate in probate court. Often we are able to provide for reapirs and corrections before the house sells so our clients do not have to worry about payment for such matters until the time of closing. There are many ways that having a realtor with probate experience will help you.
