A Date With Probate: Navigating Death, Title & Probate Issues in Real Estate Transactions

This virtual class demystifies probate for real estate professionals by exploring what probate is, when it may be required, and the key steps involved. Attendees will learn how probate impacts title and conveyancing, and what happens when no probate is opened. The course will also cover survivorship estates, trusts, and other probate-avoidance tools to help you confidently navigate death-related real estate transactions.

Topics Include:

  • Wills and probate basics
  • Personal Representative authority
  • Probate conveyances and title issues
  • Transfer on Death Deeds (TODDs)
  • Trusts and estate affidavits
  • Vesting and survivorship rights
  • Intestate succession
  • Common underwriting and escrow concerns

Designed specifically for real estate professionals, this course provides practical knowledge agents can use to better serve clients and navigate estate-related transactions more confidently and professionally.
