What is a property in probate?

A property in probate refers to real estate that is undergoing the legal process of probate after the owner’s death. Probate is a judicial procedure in which a court oversees the distribution of the deceased person’s estate according to their will or state law (if no will exists). This process involves the analysis and administration of the deceased person’s assets, including real property. During probate, the court examines the validity of the will, if one is present, and inventories the estate’s assets, such as homes, land, and other real estate, and provides the final ruling on their division and distribution to the beneficiaries.

What is non-probate property?

Non-probate property includes assets that do not need to go through the probate process after the owner’s death. These assets bypass probate because ownership is typically either jointly held or placed in a trust during the decedent’s lifetime. Examples include jointly owned real estate, life insurance policies with designated beneficiaries, and assets held in a living trust. This allows for a more streamlined and quicker transfer of ownership.

What are fiduciary duties?

Fiduciary duties encompass loyalty, confidentiality, and full disclosure of all conflicts of interest. Professionals must prioritize their clients’ interests above their own and maintain the confidentiality of all sensitive information. Additionally, a brokerage cannot appoint another brokerage to act on a customer’s behalf without obtaining written consent from the client.
