We partnered with Core Logic, the leading provider of housing data nationwide. We pull title name and property information.

We continuously check to see if the property has been sold since the probate filing date.

- What is probate real estate?
-
Probate real estate, or probate estate, is part of a process called probate. Probate affects 80% - 90% of Americans when they pass on when their assets are not protected by a fully vested living trust. The biggest asset in an estate is the real estate, the property they live in. When a decedent leaves real estate behind owned in their name, the heirs cannot sell the property without going through probate. Probate has been around for over 250 years and it is the legal procedure to assign someone known as an executor (where there is a will) or administrator (when there is no will) and allowing them to handle the settling of the estate itself. Quite often this means selling the property so that they can pay debts and distribute funds to heirs.
