At Stellar California, we care about every one of our clients and strive to guide them through a  variety of real estate situations they may face throughout their lives. After having worked so  hard to accumulate assets, it is best to ensure that they are passed on to your loved ones, as  you wish. 

This is where estate planning comes in. As sensitive as this topic may be for some people, it is  one that requires forethought and preparation. Estate planning isn’t just a process for the rich or the elite, or for families that have accumulated generational wealth. If you own a home and have minor children, you should be looking into this with great seriousness, to protect your assets and provide security for your family for future generations. 

Your home is very likely your most valuable asset, and it makes up a large portion of your estate. By having your legal documents prepared if something happens to you, your estate will  be in order, and you and your family will have peace of mind. We highly recommend that you  seek out an attorney that specializes in estate planning to guide you forward through the  process.  

What happens when a homeowner passes away without the proper paperwork? This is when the home sale may be subject to probate courts. This involves a legal process that can add a  layer of complexity to the sale transaction and to all parties involved, not to mention the additional expenses incurred.  

These are major reasons why we encourage you to take this important step of securing your  family’s estate. Remember that engaging the help of a qualified estate attorney is vital to  avoiding probate. 

Life can be unpredictable. If you, or someone you know, is facing the unforeseen situation of  dealing with probate or trust administration and need assistance in selling real estate, please reach out to us. We can help address your concerns and deal with the unique nuances and  protocol that probate and trust sales require.
