The guide walks the same road as this site’s estate hub, in a format you can save, print, and share with co-trustees and beneficiaries: what happens first, what the court needs, what the home costs while it waits, what the tax rules actually say, and the three honest ways to sell. It is written for someone doing this for the first time, because almost everyone is.
