FREQUENTLY ASKED FRIDAY: What is real estate probate and how does it work? 🏠

Probate in real estate is the legal transfer asset ownership or selling of that estate that was previously owned by a deceased homeowner.

This legal process is necessary to authenticate a will and ensures that assets are properly distributed.

Real estate probate is divided into four essential parts:

👉 Choosing the executor of the estate.
👉 Having the property appraised.
