Probate can occur with a home when the home owner dies and the property is not properly set up to be passed on to heirs. It can be a very expensive, lengthy, and stressful time, and it is very avoidable.

If you own a home, are in the process of buying a home, or if you are a Realtor working with buyers, you must educate yourself on this topic and take appropriate action to avoid probate. If you are young or single, you may think that it’s something you can worry about “later”. The truth, however, is that EVERY homeowner should address this issue.
