What attorneys need to know about estate sales.
A specialist broker is not a second lawyer. The job is to sell the real property without creating a second file.
One specialist, not a generalist
Probate sales stall when the listing agent learns the code on your file. Bill has worked court-confirmed and IAEA sales in Los Angeles County. He has been a licensed California real estate broker since 2005, and in real estate since 1989.
The sale process stays off your desk
Showings, occupancy issues, buyer fallout, overbid prep, and title follow-through are handled so the legal file can move.
Court-confirmation fluency
Stanley Mosk confirmation hearings and Probate Code overbid increments are routine — not a learning curve.
Clean communication with counsel
Attorneys receive status, not noise. One broker who already knows the other probate lawyers in the room.
What to send on a referral
Property address, who holds authority (and whether Letters have issued), occupancy, known liens or reverse mortgages, and whether confirmation will be required. That is enough to start.
