Until my Uncle passed away, I had no knowledge of the meaning of probate.
I learned that it is the legal process involved with transferring property from a deceased person to a living person or persons who are entitled to legally receive it.
The steps of probate take place after someone dies, seeing to it that their assets are distributed in accordance with their will. I discovered that probate is a time-consuming process. The ins and outs were quite intricate, delaying the transfer of ownership for over a year. It was recommended that I seek legal representation, which added up to significant costs. The fees were based on a percentage of the value of the estate. There were also court filing fees and administrative charges, which further cut into the value. There were disagreements among family members throughout the ordeal that made everything much more stressful. I did not initially realize that I could sell a probate house. However, when the difficulties dragged on, I started searching for a way out. I came across an ad for a cash home buyer that included offers on probate properties. I filled out an online contact form, supplied some information and received an offer that same day. It was such a pleasure to finally find a quick, hassle-free solution. The cash home buyer was wonderfully upfront and informative. I was able to arrange an in-person meeting and ask questions, which helped to set my mind at ease. The closing was scheduled according to my priorities and handled within two weeks. Walking away from that property with cash in my pocket felt amazing.
