Real Estate Sales for Guardianships
A Complete Range of Support for Guardianship Sales
By Howard Morrel & Leslie Hirsch
Guardians play a vital role in managing the affairs and assets of individuals who are unable to do so themselves due to incapacity or legal incapability. Often, a guardian of property is called upon to handle real estate sales on behalf of their wards–and that responsibility can be overwhelming without experienced guidance and support.
Guardians need to be aware that a good deal of paperwork and legal process may be required as part of any sale. Your broker may need to be court-approved, and you may need to file a variety of notifications to the ward, their attorney, and relatives. A court appearance may also be needed, and a judge may be involved along many of the steps. Failure to take the proper legal steps can lead to serious consequences.
Expert, Compassionate, Confidential Services
Morrel Hirsch & Advisors are New York State court approved and registered real estate professional licensees and offer expert and specialized services to guardians and their representatives. We provide compassionate and comprehensive real estate brokerage assistance to those tasked with overseeing the interests and welfare of their wards. Howard Morrel is an attorney with deep experience in guardianships and is a fiduciary in Part 36 of Surrogate’s Court of New York.
We often work with high-profile and celebrity clients in this realm, and coordinate closely with family attorneys using the greatest discretion.
As specialists in trusts and estates transactions, and leveraging the larger Christie’s International Real Estate Group, we offer a unique and complete range of related services–from clean-outs to repairs to moves to auctions of goods to preparations for sales–always with patience, compassion, and care. We recognize that a guardianship sale is often a complex, and sometimes lengthy process requiring patience. Our job is to help you every step of the way and maximize returns to the ward and to the estate over the long term.
