What is a Probate Sale?

Q. "Probate" is the court-supervised administration of a decedent's estate. The probate proceeding involves "proving the will" (if there is a will), appointing the personal representative, determining the decedent's assets that are subject to probate. More specifically, any property that the decedent owned or had an interest in at the time of death is collected into the estate and distributed to those entitled to it after all debts and expenses have been paid. Thus, the process of administering a decedent's estate is referred to as "probate," and is generally supervised by the probate court.

What's your home worth???

What is your home worth? That is the big question.

There are so many real estate related websites that say they can tell you the value of your home. There is http://www.zillow.com/ or even http://www.truilia.com/.

We are excited to announce a new site at:

http://www.cyberhomes.com/searchresults.aspx?sti=0&cbcode=PC000.

Please check it out and let us know what you think... try to plug in your current home and see what the cyberhomes.cpm thinks of its value. Your opinion means a lot to us.

However the truth is you can never really know the true value of your home without consulting with an experienced real estate agent.
