1. Houses, Healthcare, Heirs & Planning for The Future Kim Hegwood 21:22

But sometimes I will have a spouse that will pass and the other one says, Well, I’m not going to bother probating because I’m going to stay in the house. And then they pass. So, then we have to track down will and airship affidavits and you know, death certificates and everything else. So, if they don’t have a will, I usually end up having to do exactly what I said. I usually must involve an attorney and we have to find out if there were wills and track down the heirs. Find out, you know, how many there are and where they are. And everybody assumes they know all the heirs, but you never know. Diana Saufley-Realtor

Kim and Diana discus the following questions:

1) How can I find out how much my home would sell for to plan for my future?

2) What if my family member has no Will?

3) If my spouse passes away but I plan to remain in our home, what do I need to do, if anything?

4) What choices do I have if I don’t want to own a home anymore?

5) Who and what do I need to inform for my health, asset, and finance plans?

6) What exactly do Realtors do and do I need one?
