DESCRIPTION

I See Dead People & They Want to Sell Real Estate class will be held IN PERSON.

This course is designed for real estate agents to assist them in navigating real estate transactions involving deceased sellers and probate. 

In the real estate world, we see so many real estate transactions where the seller is deceased or the real estate is included in a probate.  Unfortunately, these types of situations often result in the closing being delayed or the contract possibly terminating.  As an attorney owned title company, Burns, Henry & Kirksey, is committed to assisting real estate agents in understanding what information they need to navigate these types of closings and helping them successfully close. 

In this presentation, Attorneys Travis Henry and Bryce Kirksey identify three key questions that realtors should ask when taking a listing where a seller is deceased.   

These questions and topics include:

1. Who has authority to sign a contract or deed when someone is deceased?
2. What is probate and how does it affect a closing?
3. How long do you have to wait to close? 

In addition, the course includes practical tips to avoid a delayed closing. 

At the end of the presentation there will be time for Q&A as well. 

Bryson M. (“Bryce”) Kirksey’s practice involves many transactional matters, including tax planning for individuals and companies, estate planning (drafting wills and trusts), probate, business formation and planning, and forming and advising tax-exempt organizations.   Bryce is also a licensed title insurance agent with Fidelity National Title and is licensed to practice law in Tennessee. 

Travis D. Henry concentrates his practice in the areas of real estate, secured lending and litigation.  Travis represents investors, developers, lenders and participants in real estate transactions.  He is a licensed title insurance agent with Old Republic Title and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company.  Travis is licensed in Tennessee and Georgia.   

Course material will be provided during class.
