Selling a Trust Home in San Fernando

A home held in a living trust in San Fernando can usually be sold without going through probate court. Miamar Realty, led by broker Jay Romero (DRE 01343079), helps successor trustees plan and complete that sale in the Valleys & Foothills area. San Fernando Road and the historic downtown mall are at the city’s center.

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.

Who We Help

We help successor trustees, beneficiaries, family members and trust attorneys. We cover pricing, preparing the home, marketing it, and handling offers and escrow. Older homes are common in San Fernando, and an inherited house may need cleanout, repairs or permit review. We help the estate weigh selling as-is against light preparation. We also serve nearby Burbank, Santa Clarita and Glendale.
