From Inherited to Sold – Without the Headaches

Probate-to-Close™ Services

When you inherit property, selling it isn’t always straightforward. Probate, estate administration, and deed transfers can create hurdles that delay closing. Our Probate-to-Close™ Services are designed to help families in Michigan move quickly and affordably from inheritance to a clear title and a successful closing.

We work virtually with courts, title companies, and realtors to make probate simpler and faster — so you can focus on the sale, not the red tape.

Our Services

For very small estates, this option allows heirs to collect personal property such as bank accounts or vehicles without filing a full probate case. See how these affidavits work…

When the estate is modest, the court can issue an order assigning property directly to heirs. This streamlined process may include real estate if the estate qualifies. Learn more about small estate probate…

If a probate case is needed but is not contested, the court can appoint a personal representative and issue “Letters of Authority.” This allows the representative to pay debts, manage assets, and transfer property without the delays of full court supervision. Get details on informal probate…

For larger or more complex estates — or when disputes arise — full probate ensures the court oversees each step. This process provides clear authority to resolve debts, transfer assets, and distribute property correctly. Explore the steps of full probate…

When a property needs to be transferred after death, we prepare and record the proper deeds to update ownership and clear the title. Learn more about these deeds…

Sample Client Scenario

Example: Ms. Carter inherits her father’s home in Highland Park, but the deed was never updated, so she cannot sell it.

In this situation, we would:

  • File a Small Estate Probate to establish her legal right to the property.

  • Prepare and record a Death Deed to update the title.

  • Work with the title company to clear the title within about 45 days.

With the title cleared, Ms. Carter would then be able to close on the sale the following week.

  1. Free phone consultation – review your situation and identify the right service.

  2. Client intake & document upload – handled securely online.

  4. Virtual filing & Zoom hearings – no wasted trips to court.
