Episode notes
Probate Creates Vacant, Stalled Properties
- Probate happens when someone dies without proper estate planning and forces property through a court process.
- That court process often leaves heirs confused, under-resourced, and with vacant abandoned houses.
Use Set-Asides To Bypass Full Probate
- Try to obtain a set-aside when equity is low to avoid full probate court.
- Prove equity is below the statutory threshold so the court can simply award the property to heirs without lengthy proceedings.

- Avoid deals that must go to auction because bidding or court sale rules can destroy your margin.
- Screen for auctions or court-imposed minimum sale prices before committing to a probate purchase.
