TRUSTS & ESTATES PROPERTY ADVISORY

We created the Trusts and Estates Property Advisory at Engel & Völkers Seattle Eastside to support fiduciaries, attorneys, and families through the distinct challenges of selling estate and trust property. We bring a blend of legal understanding, market experience, and hands-on coordination that helps clients navigate each stagewith confidence.

 

We work closely with personal representatives and trustees to provide clear guidance, transparent reporting, and a thoughtful approach to valuation, preparation, marketing, and closing. Our focus is to protect the interests of the estate, honor the fiduciary's responsibilities, and ensure that every transaction proceeds smoothly and professionally.

Selling property on behalf of an estate or trust is a uniquely sensitive and technical process.


By coordinating proactively with legal counsel, maintaining transparent documentation, and engaging experienced professionals, executors fulfill their fiduciary dutieswhile ensuring that the decedent's legacy is handled with care and precision.

 

This playbook provides an overview of Washington State requirements, process guidance, and professional practices that ensure each sale proceeds smoothly, transparently, and in accordance with fiduciary obligations. The information provided is not legal advice, but a professional framework for coordination among real estate brokers, attorneys, and personal representatives.
