Probate and trust sales in Historic Downtown Guadalupe

Historic Downtown Guadalupe is the heart of a town with a rich agricultural heritage, and its older homes have often stayed in the same hands for a long time. When one of them has to be settled, the paperwork can be as old as the house.

Old additions and repairs are the first thing I look for. A room added decades ago may have no permit on file, and the wiring or plumbing may have been changed more than once. None of that stops a sale. It does need to be known and disclosed, so that it doesn't come back on whoever signed for the estate.

If the title has an old name on it or the family has lost track of a document, tell me early, and we'll get the right people involved before you list. See more about downtown Guadalupe.

I'm your eyes on the house. If you're out of town, I coordinate the cleanout, the estate sale timing, and the trades locally, so you don't have to fly in for every step.

I tell you what the house needs, as a contractor. Inherited homes have often gone years without updates. If you're open to it, my walkthrough gives you a Fix/Skip list, so the estate doesn't spend money it won't get back. You hire any trade you want from my vetted vendor list, and I take no markup or referral fee.

Everyone gets the same information. With several heirs, I keep all of you informed, in writing, so nobody feels left out.

I work alongside your attorney. Probate and trust sales can have extra legal steps, and some need court involvement. Your attorney guides those. I'm not a legal advisor, and I'll always send legal questions back to them.
