Certified Probate Specialist
When a loved one passes away, it is a very difficult time and as a family member or friend who has been tasked to handle their estate, can be overwhelming especially when you are grieving. It is time-consuming and a very lengthy process. Probate is complicated and requires an attorney to submit the proper paperwork to the court and in front of a judge to approve the sale of the property. This process is where all the assets of the decedent are sold or distributed, and the outstanding debts from creditors against the estate are settled. When a property requires probate, a CPS can be a valuable partner, along with your attorney in assisting with the sale of the property and coordinating through the judicial process.

A certified probate specialist, or CPS, is a real estate professional who has completed an indepth educational certification program centered around the real estate probate process.

CPS professionals in real estate are well-qualified to list and sell real estate assets that require probate. When conflicts arise between family members, a Realtor will maintain neutrality throughout the process to guide the family through this difficult endeavor all the way to the closing of their loved one’s property.
