At Hartcrest we believe there is a void in estate planning. Strategic preparation of real property prior to it passing down is far too often overlooked. Inheriting real estate can be difficult. Particularly for those with conflicting needs or without the required time, experience or finances to make the most of their gift.
With up to $10.0M available per property and a unique blend of expertise, Hartcrest helps optimize real property value so you and your loved ones benefit more.1

When a trust’s grantor passes away, the assets are administered according to the terms of the trust. Executors and trustees are both held to the highest fiduciary standard of care. They must act in the best interest of the beneficiaries by preserving and investing trust assets prudently.


The probate process can be complex, and the entire proceeding can take between 9-18 months, sometimes even longer. More often than not, properties involved in probate contain substantial deferred maintenance and other deficiencies leaving them to be sold in fair to poor condition.
