As “transition specialists,” we don’t just buy and sell homes—we also help our clients with the difficult, “non-essential” complications of transitioning into a new living situation. If your move comes with a heavy emotional burden or difficult logistics, you don’t have to carry those alone. We’ve helped hundred of clients through all sorts of life transitions.
In that spirit, our Realtor Tonya Spivey talked with Managing Partner Chad Horner of www.kingcountyprobates.com and Curran Law Firm about all things probate. If you haven’t yet planned for the future of your estate (especially the future of your real estate holdings), the lull of COVID-19 is the perfect opportunity to get things in order.
