Probate & Trust Sales Explained

Two estate-related transactions with different requirements.

Probate Sale Escrow

A probate sale usually involves property owned by a person who has passed away, where the estate is administered through the court. Depending on the situation, the transaction may require court confirmation, administrator or executor authority, estate documentation, and specific procedural steps before closing.

How escrow helps:

We coordinate escrow instructions, estate documentation, buyer deposits, title requirements, signatures, court-related conditions, and closing details according to the transaction instructions.

Trust Sale Escrow

A trust sale usually involves property held in a living trust or other trust structure. The sale may be handled by a trustee or successor trustee according to trust documents and required authority.

How escrow helps:

We help coordinate trust-related documents, trustee authority, escrow instructions, title requirements, buyer and seller communication, signing, closing, and disbursement according to approved instructions.
