Probate Pitfalls: Common Mistakes That Cost Heirs Thousands
Probate can be confusing, and small mistakes often lead to big financial losses. Here are the top errors I see—and how to avoid them:
- Letting the Home Sit Too Long – Vacant homes lose value and may draw attention for the wrong reasons. (Page 14)
- Skipping the Appraisal or CMA – This is critical for proper estate planning. (Page 5)
- DIY Listing – Probate sales require court paperwork and experience. (See page 6 regarding opportunistic agents)
- Ignoring Emotional Stress – It's more common than most expect. (Page 11)
