He also shares practical warnings about probate being public, how families can get targeted by lowball “cash buyer” solicitations, and why estate planning (especially having a trust) can save families time, money, and stress.The conversation also gets tactical on real-world transaction issues—like uncovering title defects early (old HELOCs, missing reconveyances), handling lis pendens and disputes, and using checklists and systems to keep deals from falling apart in escrow.
