New Book Helps Families Navigate Real Estate Challenges During Probate Written by Certified Probate Specialist and South Florida Realtor, Navigating Probate for Families offers empathetic, practical advice to heirs handling inherited property.
-- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIAMI, FL - July 31, 2025 - Inheriting a home after the death of a loved one is one of the most common and emotionally charged situations many families face. Yet few people know what to do when legal processes, real estate, and family dynamics all converge. A new book by South Florida Realtor and Certified Probate Specialist Brett Adams offers straightforward answers.
Navigating Probate for Families: Essential Information for Executors and Heirs provides clear, practical guidance for anyone managing an inherited home. Instead of legal jargon, the book offers real-world insights drawn from Adams’ personal involvement and extensive hands-on work with families and probate properties across South Florida.
“Most people only go through probate once in their lives,” said Adams. “There’s no guide handed to you when someone passes away, but the paperwork, deadlines, and financial risks still show up. I wanted to create something families could read and truly use, without intimidation or confusion.”
According to the Federal Reserve, more than $68 trillion will transfer from baby boomers to their heirs by 2045 — a historic shift in generational wealth. Much of that inheritance is tied to real estate, and many properties go through probate, often causing delays and uncertainty for families trying to move forward.
Navigating Probate for Families is designed for everyday people, not attorneys, and answers the most common and difficult questions families ask, including:
- What to do first when a loved one passes away and real estate is involved
- When a home can or cannot be sold during probate
- How to resolve disagreements between siblings or heirs
- When court approval is needed to transfer or sell a property
- What to do with out-of-state or distressed properties
- How to manage homes held in a trust or jointly titled
- How the stepped-up basis affects taxes when selling an inherited home
The book includes timelines, checklists, real-world scenarios, and advice that reflect the author’s background in helping families across Miami and South Florida.
Navigating Probate for Families: Essential Information for Executors and Heirs is available now on Amazon for just 99 cents as a limited-time launch offer. More details about the book and author can be found at www.navigatingprobate.com and www.BrettSellsMiami.com
