<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#222A35">We represent a beneficiary of an estate that goes not as per the intestacy statute, that is, the will leaves everything to the kids and the grandkids. The
house is on the market and supposedly has a buyer, without probate being opened. The realtor says, “I’ve done this before” (i.e. sell a house “following the will” without a probate where “everyone signs off on it”). The unappointed out of state PR says he
has no intention of opening a probate and will follow his realtor’s advice. Apparently the title insurance company will do this if everyone indemnifies them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
