Families we have helped

Every estate house is different, and most of them are messier than anyone expected. These are real situations. Names and details are left out to protect the families.

The stories

• Inherited house

  A packed house and no money for repairs

  Situation

  The family inherited a home that was full to the ceilings. Nobody had the money to clear it out or fix it up.

  What we did

  Our team handled the cleanout and the repairs. Those costs were recovered at closing, so the heirs paid nothing up front.

  Outcome

  The house was cleared, repaired, and closed without anyone in the family writing a check first.

• Probate

  Four heirs, scattered, and a foreclosure deadline

  What we did

  We located each heir and coordinated every signature, including the two who could not easily be reached.

  Outcome

  The house sold before the bank's foreclosure deadline.
