A vacant probate property can quickly become a major problem if it isn’t secured. In this case, squatters got into the property—and it took six months to get them out.

If you’re responsible for a home during probate, securing and monitoring the property should be one of your first priorities. Taking action early can help protect the estate from unnecessary expenses, delays, and damage.
