Selling Real Estate Via a Trust, Inheritance, or Probate Dave Crowell, American Dream Realty, 805-300-3345

When a loved one passes away, family members often inherit a piece of Real Estate.  In my experience, family members are torn with keeping the property or selling the property.  Typically, if there are multiple heirs, the heirs often sell the property and divide up the proceeds.  However, it is very important that sellers of real estate via a trust, probate, or an inheritance contact an experienced Real Estate Agent.

Therefore, if you are selling an inherited property, it is important to make sure the title is clear by having the title company review the trust and title prior to listing the house.  Also, accounting and legal advice are two areas that need to be addressed.  In particular, properly identifying the potential tax consequences and completing the necessary Real Estate Tax documents.  Consequently, Dave Crowell at American Dream Realty, 805-300-3345, has handled numerous transactions for heirs of Real Estate.  Dave ensures that the property title is reviewed and the chain of title is corrected prior to listing a house thus avoiding closing delays.
