Probate sales — what to expect
How probate sales work with us.
Probate sales involve the courts, attorneys, and timelines you didn't sign up for. We've helped 60+ Sacramento and Bay Area families navigate probate sales over the years. We work directly with your attorney, close after court confirmation, and handle property clean-out so you don't have to.
California probate typically takes 9-18 months. During that time, the property sits — often vacant — generating insurance, tax, and maintenance costs. A fast cash sale (after Letters Testamentary issue) can get the estate liquid and let heirs move on.
What we handle
Common probate complications — solved.
We've worked through these scenarios many times before.
Court confirmation timing
We close after Letters Testamentary are issued. If full IAEA authority is granted, we can move faster — sometimes 14-21 days from offer.
Multiple heirs
We work with all heirs through the executor. Equity is distributed at closing per the executor's instructions to the title company.
Estate attorney coordination
We work directly with your probate attorney. We send our offer through them and let them review every document.
Property still has belongings
Leave anything you don't want. We handle clean-out and donate items locally. No need to sort through 40 years of stuff.
Out-of-state heirs
Documents are notarized remotely or via mobile notary. You don't need to travel to California to close.
Tax basis step-up
We coordinate with your CPA on stepped-up basis at date-of-death valuation, so you receive proper tax documentation.
