Here are the basics you need to know about selling in a trust or probate.
Here with me again today is Dana Cannon of the Cannon Legal Firm to discuss some of the pitfalls we’ve both seen when selling a property in a trust or probate. Many people are misinformed about this and think anyone can sell one of these properties for them, but that’s not the case. Dana and I are both a part of the Estate Planning and Trust Council here in Long Beach, so we spend time every month studying and working to learn the changing rules about these processes. Selling a property in a trust or probate can be very complicated, but we’re both experienced in it and see people make mistakes all the time.
