What Is a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist?
A certified probate real estate specialist, or CPRES, is a real estate professional who has completed an educational certification program centered around the probate process. This individual specializes in helping families navigate the estate process after a relative or other benefactor passes away.
CPRES professionals are well-versed in handling real estate assets that have wound up passing through probate. They also have extensive knowledge of:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Conservatorships
- Estate settlements
They are a valuable – and often necessary – partner if you find yourself needing to sell a property that’s in probate.
What a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist Does?
So, what exactly is a certified probate real estate specialist’s role? A CPRES is trained to help navigate the probate court system. This includes monitoring legal deadlines and ensuring that they are not missed. He or she will also offer guidance on the complicated legal steps and documentation that are required as part of the probate process. They can also minimize the potential for disputes between heirs.
In addition to guiding you through the paperwork and other legal aspects of probate court, your CPRES can also recommend inspectors, appraisers, contractors and other professionals. This ensures that the passed-down property is accurately appraised, necessary repairs are made and that it is prepared to go on the market.
