Why partner
- DE-160 & court mastery: Preliminary Date-of-Death / as-is analysis that helps counsel frame the file before the first cash caller sets the number — and Stanley Mosk overbid / Limited Authority confirmation support when the court must approve the sale.
- Turnkey clearing: Keep / Donate / Trash contents liquidation and hoarding clearance without requiring estate capital for speculative repairs — then As-Is open MLS exposure that builds a defensible court record.
Free for counsel
- 24-hour Date-of-Death valuation reports — preliminary DE-160 / bond-facing market context, free to counsel.
- Litigation neutrality — multi-counsel reporting, heir/occupant mediation, and listing posture that does not pick sides among beneficiaries.
