Are You Making Important Decisions for Others?
Someone who accepts a fiduciary role has assumed a legal duty to act in the best interest of another. Since most people step into these roles without any prior experience, it can quickly become complicated.
We are here to help answer your non-legal questions and find the essential services you’ll need to successfully perform your duties.
Who We Are
We are a three person team of highly experienced real estate professionals specializing in risk prevention and estate administration support for fiduciaries. We also work closely with trustees and agents acting under power of attorney, who often face similar challenges and exposure.
Working alongside legal counsel, we serve as a practical “step-down” resource to provide non-legal guidance, experienced insight, and steady advocacy to help fiduciaries navigate the estate settlement process with clarity and confidence.
Our Core Objectives
1. Reduce Your Risk and Increase Your Confidence
We help fiduciaries identify, understand, and manage risk while providing clear, non-legal guidance and resources to support sound decision making.
2. Maximize Real Estate Value
With 80+ years of combined experience, we bring deep expertise across:
*Residential and commercial brokerage
*Planning, zoning, and development
*Property title curative
*Real and personal property insurance coverage issues
*Appraisal and construction
3. Prevent Conflict and Keep Things Moving
We act as a sounding board and neutral third party to reduce friction, preserve relationships, and keep the process on track. Our team is formally trained in:
*Mediation and facilitation
*Divorce and family property matters
Common Risks We Help You Avoid
*Vacant property clauses that silently void insurance coverage without notice
*Real estate decisions that violate fiduciary duty and expose fiduciaries to personal liability
Transfer-on-death deeds that immediately cancel property insurance upon the grantor's death
Mishandling estate vehicles, leading to possible catastrophic financial loss and personal liability
These are everyday issues and only a small sample of what fiduciaries face. Our role is simple: apply decades of expertise to help protect those who are carrying this significant responsibility.
Real Estate Is Often the Largest Asset a Fiduciary Must Sell
Our real estate brokerage services are competitively priced and include all of our expertise at no extra charge. If you need to sell estate, trust, or POA-owned real estate, please interview us.
If the cost is the same, what would be the advantage of hiring someone with less knowledge and experience?
