What makes someone the go-to probate expert in LA?

Helping families through probate isn’t just about knowing how to sell. It’s about understanding the legal and emotional complexity of probate real estate — and having the skill to manage every moving piece.

Here’s what separates a probate expert from a traditional agent in Los Angeles:

1. Deep understanding of LA County probate timelines and requirements

2. Ability to coordinate with probate attorneys and fiduciaries

3. Vendor relationships to assist with cleanup, repairs, and court-required steps

4. Experience handling tenant-occupied and rent-controlled properties legally and strategically

The Borges Real Estate Team checks every box — from guiding families through court paperwork to marketing distressed or inherited homes that still have tenants living on site.

How does selling a probate home in Los Angeles work?

If you’re the executor or administrator, the process starts with getting legally appointed by the court and receiving Letters of Administration or Testamentary. After that, the path depends on whether you have full authority (no court confirmation needed) or limited authority (requires court confirmation of sale).

Here’s what the probate sales process typically looks like:

1. Court appointment of a representative

2. Appraisal by a court-assigned probate referee

3. Home preparation and listing

4. Offer negotiation — sometimes involving court approval

5. Escrow, with the court overseeing the distribution of proceeds

And if the home has tenants under LA rent control, there are even more steps. The Borges Team helps families avoid missteps like improper notices or illegal evictions — and instead creates a strategy that honors the law while maximizing the value of the estate.

Case Study: Out-of-State Heirs Sell a Hillside Home in Los Angeles

A recent family from the East Coast inherited a hillside property just outside Calabasas — technically within the City of Los Angeles limits. The home had deferred maintenance, overgrown landscaping, and no recent updates. To make things more complex, the family didn’t plan to fly back to California even once.

The Borges Real Estate Team took it from there:

• Coordinated cleanup, staging, and photography — all remotely

• Worked with a probate attorney to align sale timing with court milestones

• Positioned the home as a value-add opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors

• Delivered multiple offers, including one all-cash buyer who closed without delays

The family was able to sign everything electronically, stay on the East Coast, and walk away from the sale knowing their probate process was handled with care.
