So stay tuned to find out. This is Josh V your probate realtor and welcome back to another video. In this video, I want to talk about what is the difference between a traditional sale and a probate sell, and it's one of the most frequently asked questions by many of my clients, so let's dive into it. When it comes to probate, One of the biggest things that is different from probate versus traditional is the fact that this is a court-supervised process. So normally when it's a traditional sale the homeowners are still living, therefore, they can sign right away and put the property on the market right away. However, with probate, this is a court-supervised process which means that the property cannot be sold on to the court has appointed a personal representative to act as either administrator or executor of that estate. So, that process could take a little bit longer in California. It could take anywhere from one month to two months before that personal representative is appointed, and possibly up to six weeks until they get the letters of administration and the order for probate. Basically, the paperwork from the court, appointing them, and then being able to put the property on the market. So it takes a little bit longer. #2 When it comes to the listing paperwork, The residential listing agreement is the contract that is signed in order to hire a real estate professional, like myself is completely different. There are two additional disclosures that are part of that listing agreement, so it's much different and a more extensive contract. #3 The commission structure in Los Angeles County is much different, in a normal traditional sale a real estate professional could charge 6%-7% for the sale of a home. When it comes to probate, the maximum that can be charged in Probate in Los Angeles County is only 5%. That's right. Five percent also, the marketing of the probate property is much different than a traditional sale. With the traditional sale, you can take pictures and put it up on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) which is what agents use to sell and advertise the property. But when it comes to probate the property must be marketed differently, as probate property, as well as whether there is Court confirmation required, or if Court confirmation is not required. So basically whether the personal representative has full Authority or limited Authority And lastly, There is a notice in Probate that must be sent out to all the beneficiaries, and that gives them an opportunity to object to the sale of the home. So in a standard cell, you don't do that, right? So the homeowners are still living there. Whereas with a Standard Sale there is no notice to sign. However, with Probate Sale, say there are five beneficiaries who in different states, or the same state, they all must be sent a notice. And if one of the objects to the sale of the home, then it could be subject to a court confirmation in which they would have to go in front of a judge and possibly dispute it. So those are the fate of five main differences between a traditional sale and a probate sell. So I hope that this is information is valuable. And as always if you have any questions do not hesitate to call me, you'll be glad you did. ---------------------------- About Passion and caring come naturally to Joshua.

So, stay tuned. Hey guys, what's up? Its Josh V. Again, welcome back to my channel. In this episode, I want to talk to you about what Limited Authority means. In the last video, we discussed what Full Authority means, which is getting sole responsibility from the judge to be able to sell personal property, real estate, and other things. In this case, limited Authority is the opposite of that. In Limited Authority you go through a court confirmation hearing, where you have to go to court to get the Judge to sign off on the sale of any real estate personal property, Etc. So there is a little bit of a difference between both. One you can go ahead and sell personal property, real estate right away. In the other one you have to go through the judge, and through the court confirmation hearing in order to be able to sell any of that personal property or real estate. I hope that this short video has been informational, and valuable to you. As always, if you have any questions, call me, text me, email me… We’ll be happy to help you. You’ll be glad you did.

If you recently filed for probate yourself or hired a probate attorney to help you with the filing and petitioning of the court, you need to know how long you can expect this process to take. In the state of California usual probate takes anywhere from 9 to 12 months, unless there are special circumstances. For example, if the property is going through foreclosure, and there's a pending sale date, the judge may choose to close the estate sooner, to avoid foreclosure on the property. On the other hand, if there are multiple errors, or heirs involved who want to dispute the sale or the probate of the property, they could choose to hire counsel and fight the court. This could, in turn, delay the probate process, perhaps 1 to 3 years, or possibly more. However, typically, most probate cases take about 9 to 12 months If you have any questions you can reach us via email at info@joshvrealty.com About Passion and caring come naturally to Joshua.

What does that mean? If you recently filed for probate, you, or a hired probate professional, would have petitioned the court and request full or limited authority. Having full authority is when the court gives you permission to act on behalf of the estate. This does not mean that you can do whatever you want, as it is subject to being penalized by the court. It does give authority to sell personal property, stocks, bonds, and real estate. We'll discuss limited authority in a future episode.

Under probate codes, the fees for probate our statutory, which means how much money the attorney, and the personal representative or executor of the estate will make at the close of the probate, are already predetermined by the court. The predetermined percentages are based on the value of the home. The first $100,000 value of the home, the cost is 4%. For the next 100,000 value of the home, it's an additional 3%. The next 800,000 value of the home, it's an additional 2%. For the next 9 million, it's an additional 1%. And for the next 15 million value of the home, it's an additional 1/2%. To put it into perspective if you have a home that is valued at $500,000, it would be 4,000 dollars for the first 100,000, 3% for the next $100,000, 2% for the next $300,000, which would equal $13,000. This will all come out at the very end of the estate. This is what your attorney will make, and this is also what you, as the administrator, or the executor of that estate, will make.
