The Probate Listing Playbook: What Agents Need to Know to Win and Close

Learn how to list and close California probate properties with Jason Gaudy, including ways to avoid upfront legal fees and court auctions. Probate sales can raise questions that agents do not encounter in a typical transaction: Who has authority to sign? Is court approval required? When can the home be listed, and what could delay closing? Join Ray Atencio, The Title Pro at Stewart Title, and Jason Gaudy, CEO of Gaudy Law, for a practical discussion of California probate real estate. We’ll cover the steps from identifying the person authorized to sell through listing and closing, including when a sale may proceed without a court auction and how legal fees may be handled without an upfront payment from the family. Come away with a clearer understanding of the process and better questions to ask when a client brings you a probate property.
