A pervasive issue in California estates is the “Liquidity Trap.” Under California Probate Code § 10810, legal fees and executor compensation are tied to the gross value of the estate, but funds are typically unavailable until the very end of the process.
This situation could leave your family in a financial bind to assist in through the probate or Trust administrative process. You have an asset (often a home) that requires clean out, security, or repair, but you have no liquid cash to fund it. We have many solutions for the many issues that may arise.
California Probate and Trust Services also works with your attorney offering a proprietary Advance-and-Reimbursement program to get the estate the funds it needs to prepare any real estate to sell.
We can fund the following services out of these resources with reimbursement occurring through the closing of escrow:
Removal of hoarding/debris to allow access for the Probate Referee.
We know the value of your loved ones assets and want to insure honor their legacy by getting the highest value for all their assets, not just the real estate.
Re-keying and securing vacant properties to satisfy insurance requirements.
Providing “Cash for Keys” funds to resolve squatter situations without the delay of eviction court.
Note: These services are ancillary. They are designed to unblock the legal process so your attorney can reach the Order for Final Distribution. These funds are reimbursed from the estate proceeds at the close of escrow. You do not pay out of pocket.
