<p>I just want to add a great big AMEN to Heather's warning. The
sale of real estate out of a guardianship is a remarkably
inefficient process focused on protection of the incapacitated
person. I had my first full-intervention probate last year,
which requires the same steps. You will have to make three
separate court appearances to complete your sale, and publish
notice in the middle of it. If you have another feasible
option, use it. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">The biggest issue I see is the substantial
additional complexity of selling property in a guardianship
estate than in a Probate estate. I don’t expect Title to have
an issue, and I would be inclined to deed to the AIP, but then
have the Guardian sign the REETA, but if it is going to be
sold, it is infinitely easier for a Personal Representative
with nonintervention powers to sell than for a Guardian to
sell.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Decedent died
in early 2018 without a will. His spouse receives 100% of the
community property as a result. The main asset of the probate
estate is a piece of real property. The surviving spouse is
in a guardianship (person and estate). The personal
representative of the estate wants to do a PR Deed so that the
probate estate can be closed before the sale of the real
property (no bites for the property listing so far).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The guardian of the estate is the same
person as the personal representative of the probate estate.
I am drafting a PR deed from Grantor, PR of the probate
estate, to Grantee, Guardian of the Guardianship Estate (same
person). Or should it be conveyed to the individual AIP?
Will any of this cause problems with the property title, if
the probate estate closes and then the property is sold? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts would be appreciated. My client
is inexplicably anxious to close the probate estate, but if
there could be title issues I will inform him that probate
should remain open until after property sale.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
