Probate

Probate usually shows up at a time when people are already dealing with enough.

A loss.
A transition.
A responsibility you did not ask for.

And suddenly there is a house involved.

If you are here, you may be the executor, an heir, or the person who ended up handling things because someone had to.

Most people tell us they were not prepared for how confusing or heavy this process feels.

we come in.

You are not expected to know what to do

Probate is unfamiliar territory for most families.

You may be wondering
What happens to the house
Who is allowed to make decisions
Whether selling is even possible yet
If waiting is better than acting

All of that is normal.

Our role is not to rush you.
Our role is to help you understand what is actually happening and what options are available.

What we help with during probate

When a property is in probate, timing and clarity matter.

We help people understand
What can be done now versus later
What the house is realistically worth
Whether selling as is makes sense
If holding the property is creating more stress than benefit

Sometimes people assume they must wait until probate is complete.
Other times they assume there is no value left.

Neither is always true.

We help sort through what applies to your situation so decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.

Selling during probate

If selling makes sense, our focus is simple.
We want you to understand every option so you can choose what works best for you.

Some people decide a direct sale is the right fit.
Others choose to sell retail to pursue the highest possible price.
In many cases, we explore both so you can compare outcomes clearly.

We take the time to explain how each path works, what the timing looks like, and what you would realistically walk away with. When appropriate, we can provide a full and fair offer. If selling on the open market makes more sense, we are happy to talk that through as well.

There is no pressure to choose quickly.
No games.
No last minute changes.

During probate, trust matters more than speed. Our role is to help you get the most reasonable outcome for the house while making the process feel clear and manageable.

When the house feels like a burden

Many probate properties sit vacant.

When no one is living in the home, small issues can quietly turn into bigger ones. Value can slip, towns can issue notices, and the property can start to feel like a constant worry in the background.

We often speak with people who say they did not realize how much mental energy the house was taking up until they started talking through options.

In situations like this, we can help in practical ways.
We can assist with securing the property if no one is living there.
If repairs or basic maintenance are needed, we can refer trusted help to get things taken care of.
We can help you address items needed to keep the home up to code and avoid unnecessary fines from the town.
We can also help reduce the risk of squatters and unwanted problems.

Sometimes the best outcome is not just financial.
It is relief.
It is knowing the house is safe and being handled properly.
And it is having the space to move forward without the constant weight of an unfinished responsibility.

If multiple heirs are involved

Probate often involves more than one person.

Different opinions.
Different levels of involvement.
Different timelines.

We have worked with many families navigating these dynamics.

Our role is to help bring clarity to the situation so decisions are easier and conversations are calmer.

If you are unsure what comes next

You do not need to have all the answers before reaching out.

You do not need to be ready to sell.
You do not need to know the right move yet.

Sometimes the most helpful step is simply understanding what is possible.

We are here for that conversation.

Probate can feel overwhelming, especially when a property is involved.

Our goal is simple.
Help you understand your options.
Treat you fairly.
Reduce stress so you can move forward with confidence.

When you are ready, we are here to talk.
