Introducing a New Loan Product
Loans to Upgrade Trust & Estate Real Property Prior to Sale

Many fiduciaries, and their attorneys, are hesitant to take on the task of  upgrading, fixing, or  enhancing a decedent's home. However some basic clean up is usually necessary. Also, when a  property is offered for sale in less than ideal condition, the majority of offers will come from real  estate investors looking to spend 50-65% of the real value of the property.

For a small amount of money, $20,000.00 to $50,000.00, the property can be cleaned up,  painted, carpeted, roof fixed, rubbish removed and even the kitchen can be re-done. The  financial gain to the estate can be tremendous, as a property in ideal condition will qualify for  FHA and Conventional Financing, thus attracting a wider audience.

If an estate is selling a property where a few repairs can increase value, First Probate Loans  offers a junior position, straight note of less than 12 months to assist the trust or estate so that they can clean up, paint, make minor repairs, and/or otherwise put the real property in a condition to be sold for the highest price. 

Features and Benefits 
  • Cash for minor fixes and repairs to gain the highest sales price
  • Junior position loans so the main mortgage and/or other liens do not need to be paid off
  • No monthly payment so as not to burden the trust or estate fiduciary in the process of selling the home
  • No prepayment penalty
  • Resolving all title issues prior to the sale of the property
  • Two weeks or less to process the loan (unless court order is required)
These loans can be first trust deeds or in junior position (2nd , 3rd , or even 4th position). The terms of the loan can be tailored to the specific estate's needs. For example, if the estate can make payments, a simple amortizing or partially amortizing loan may be the best value. Or, should the trust or estate be unable to make payments a straight note may be the best option. A straight note has no payments; and, all principal and interest payments are due at the maturity date of the promissory note. Loan terms are usually 12 months; interest rates vary depending on location, lien position, loan to value, and the ability to make payments.
