Selling a Trust Home in Manhattan Beach

If you are the successor trustee of a living trust that owns a home in Manhattan Beach, Miamar Realty can help you sell it smoothly. Broker Jay Romero (DRE 01343079) works with trustees, beneficiaries and attorneys across Los Angeles County. The city is just south of LAX and El Segundo, with Sepulveda Boulevard and the I-405 inland.

How a Successor Trustee Sale Works

When the person who created the trust passes away, the successor trustee named in the trust takes over. In most cases the trustee can list and sell the home under the trust terms without a court hearing. Escrow and title usually ask for a certification of trust and a death certificate, and the trustee has notice duties to beneficiaries and heirs.

Manhattan Beach Trust Sale FAQs

Does a trust sale need court approval?
Usually not. A successor trustee can typically sell under the terms of the trust. Your attorney can confirm what your trust allows.

Can a beneficiary buy the home?
Sometimes. It depends on the trust terms and the other beneficiaries. Ask your attorney before agreeing to anything.

What if the trustee lives far away?
We can handle keys, vendors, photos and showings locally and send updates by phone, text and email.
