Will, TRusts & Probate EXPLAINED!
Wills, trusts and Probate explained to someone selling your home and , as a buyer, what you should know. The homeowners or beneficiaries of a home in probate requires knowledge as to how you can sell the home legally. Be prepared for some limitations and how you can make this more timely if you are prepared.
Buyer's need to know as well, how a home in probate can affect their intentions of buying this particular house. There's more to real estate than a simple purchase and sale. Contact me for more answers to your questions.
The process of buying probate property varies from state to state. Massachusetts is the focus of this video. This is because probate laws also vary between states, making the sale process look slightly different across borders.
Estate planning and probate, how a trust can help!

I think your videos are great but if you SEO your videos properly and make interesting thumbnails you will get better results in no time. You should focus on SEO so that you can get a big fanbase. I can help you to increase your UA-cam video SEO score and promote. I'm a Professional Digital Marketer & UA-cam channel developer with a UA-cam SEO Expert and graphic designer.

    After my Dad passed, my two siblings and I had to empty 35 years worth of stuff in a 4 bedroom house. My sister decided to unplug the refrigerator after we emptied it. They both lived in California (Dad's house was in CT), so once we emptied out the house I went back there a week or so later and found the kitchen floor flooded due to the freezer defrosting and leaking everywhere. I was really bummed! We pulled up the carpets to find beautiful hardwood floors and spent money on painting the whole house and it sold right away. Thankfully, we were able to be civil about who got what and wanted what stuff and then we had a giant giveaway. The stuff was old and it didn't seem right to ask for money for old TV's and VCR's that still worked (yeah, this was a long time ago, lol-now they'd go in the dumpster). What was left we put some on the curb and threw the rest out. Didn't find any money, sadly, but a friend of ours did when his Mom passed away-he and his Dad found thousands of dollars hidden all over the house! Great tips! Thanks.

    I liked your description of the town, very accurate and honest. I spent many summers there back in the 50's, 60's and 70's when my grandparents owned a home on Farina Rd, as you approach Fort Revere. It had a spectacular view on the hilltop overlooking Boston Light and Harbor. A great place to grow up back then before so much development started. The house is still there and has been upgraded to a two-story home with a lookout at the top. Unfortunately the ride from Boston to Hull back then was a drag. But worth the ride just the same. Thanks for the video!

My family home has a lot of antiques & antique furnishings and it's only me having to take care of this stuff & quite frankly the idea of taking all-sides pics of each item to post on craigslist or some similar/more reputable site is just too overwhelming right now. But I know it has to be done & you're saying it can be done in 30 days or so is encouraging. If you have a video which covers this situation in more detail please let me know where to look. 🙏

    Oddly I was checking this out as my ancestor (Francis Sprague 1623) lived there. I was totally SHOCKED by how cheap that real estate is for such fine houses. Places on the waterfront near Toronto would be 2 Million plus along the Lakeshore. I know this my aunt lived near the home once owned by Tom Selleck when he was filming there decades ago. I live on a river in a humble home while all of my neighbours are cottagers (Million dollar cottages) in a tiny town Called Magnetawan Ontario, about a 4 hour drive north of Toronto. The Average wage here is only $15 an hour so most of the young people move away to affordable living in apartments. It is good to see there are nice places still in America.
