Handling Estate Transactions in Real Estate

Handling a real estate transaction is one thing. Handling the transaction for an Estate is another. Sometimes it can be smooth, and sometimes it can involve multiple family members and one executor or executrix. I always make sure I have all the members of the estate initial an acceptable offer to insure that the executor is covered, and so no family members come back later and try to blame me or the executor that the sale was miss handled and they could have gotten more. Do you ever really know if you could have gotten more? Better to cover all the bases and make everyone happy by making sure everybody involved, well, is involved. You may have been hired by the estates executor, or by a judge, or a lawyer, but keep everyone in agreement before they distribute closing proceeds so you don’t have to “revisit” the transaction later. Always easier to get signatures in advance, if you don’t know this already, you’ll find out eventually. Hopefully sooner than later.
