Death doesn't stop a real estate deal—but it can seriously complicate it. If you've ever been unsure who can legally sign a listing agreement after a property owner dies, or confused about whether a POA still applies, this session is a must. Probate, trusts, intestate estates, and title transfers all come with hidden traps that can delay closings, trigger legal disputes, or cost your clients money. Understanding the legal roles and documents involved isn't just helpful—it's essential to protecting your business, your clients, and your reputation.
