Estate Agents

As well as sorting out the funeral, legal and financial matters, you may have to deal with the selling of the estate. If your loved one left his or her home to be inherited by the family, often that is another headache adding to the already existing grief. Most of the time, the house is not just left to one person but to several heirs. In this case, splitting the inheritance of the house will require the house to be sold.

There are many things to deal with in order to sell the home. Often there are complicated issues with probate, wills, title, multiple heirs, property condition and a multitude of other things to worry about. Friends and family will need your attention.

You may not have the time or desire to handle the legal and financial aspects of the sale.

One of the hardest parts of bereavement is that there are so many things to do so soon after your loss. Bereavement causes many changes to the lives of the family. The consequences of the loss are often as unexpected as the bereavement itself. Property can be a hotly contested issue.

During this very difficult time, bereaved families don't always make the best decisions. It is therefore important to choose the best estate agents and a solicitor which is why the health service want to try to direct people to a local estate agent they can trust.
