You’ve worked hard to build your real estate portfolio. But what happens to those assets when you’re no longer around? Do your heirs inherit cash-flowing properties… or a legal mess?
Understanding how to navigate the estate planning process and how probate works is key to making things as easy as possible for your heirs and beneficiaries.
Understanding the probate process can also give you an edge in finding motivated sellers, solving complicated estate issues, and closing win-win deals that most investors miss. Probate properties are one of the most overlooked sources of off-market deals!
