| What is Probate? Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies. It includes: proving in court that a deceased person's will is valid (usually a routine matter) identifying and inventorying the deceased person's property. The Probate and Family Court Department has jurisdiction over family-related and probate matters such as divorce, paternity, child support, custody, visitation, adoption, termination of parental rights, abuse prevention and wills, estates, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, and changes of name. Probate is a complicated process that carries significant consequences. Executors and Administrators are required to have the knowledgeable resources available to assist in the facilitation of the marketing and sale of the real estate. The courts, of course, want to ensure the transaction is handled efficiently and with integrity. Certified Probate Real Estate Specialists have been specially trained by US Probates Services on the process of selling real estate through the probate process. Probate is a court-regulated and often complicated series of steps that must be carefully monitored and managed. Legal deadlines are unforgiving, the documentation is very unique and the courts oversight must be adhered to throughout the marketing, negotiation and escrow periods. This is why a REALTOR with the prestigious CPRES designation is in such high demand.
