Probate is complicated enough. The house shouldn't be.

Executors, administrators, and trustees are asked to protect a property, empty it, fix it, and sell it — often from another city — while the court process runs on its own clock. We handle the property side so you can handle the paperwork.

Sound familiar?

What you're probably dealing with.

  • You're the executor and you live hours away — or in another state.
  • The property has to be secured, insured, and maintained until the court allows a sale.
  • The attorney needs documentation of what was removed and what was spent.
  • Heirs are waiting, the house is deteriorating, and every month costs the estate money.

We've stood in a lot of kitchens with executors who never asked for the job. Our role is to be the local person you can trust with keys, decisions, and a straight answer.

Questions families ask

Straight answers.

Can you start before probate is finished?

Preservation, securing, and cleanup of hazards usually can. Larger work and any sale wait for the proper authority — we'll follow your attorney's direction.

Do you work with out-of-state executors?

Most of the executors we help live somewhere else. Video walkthroughs, daily photo updates, e-signature, and keys handled locally.

How do you bill the estate?

A written plan with labor priced fixed and materials at cost plus 30%, invoiced with receipts so the estate accounting is clean.

Can you buy the property from the estate?

Often, yes, subject to the court process. Ask about a cash offer and we'll tell you honestly whether it makes sense.
