PROBATE SALES

The process of administering a decedent's estate is referred to as "probate" and is generally supervised by the probate court. A probate sale will require either 1) court confirmation of the sale of the property or 2) authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. PPF Escrow has extensive knowledge of probate law and will ensure that all of the necessary steps are followed to close your transaction within the guidelines.

SHORT SALE

A short sale refers to a transaction in which the sale price will not generate enough proceeds to cover the payoff of the existing mortgage. Our team of Escrow Officers understands every aspect of a short sale. We are extensively trained to foresee troublesome transactions and prevent problems in advance.
