Answers to common questions about how we support estate property sales through coordination, documentation, and transparency.
We work with court-appointed personal representatives, conservators, trustees, professional fiduciaries, and the attorneys who support them, to help coordinate and document estate property activity in a clear, court-ready way.
Appointed is a California-licensed real estate brokerage.
However, we do not list properties or make estate decisions.
Instead, we help connect fiduciaries with local listing agents and help keep related vendor activity organized during the property sale process.
Our role is to organize and document the property sale process so attorneys, fiduciaries, and courts can clearly see what was done, when it was done, and who approved it—creating a clean record that aligns with fiduciary decisions and court requirements.
No. This is not a traditional listing. It is an estate property sale supported by a compliance-focused coordination and documentation process.
Appointed supports appointed representatives by coordinating licensed professionals, facilitating listing agent referrals, and maintaining clear, court-ready documentation. All decisions, approvals, and authority remain with the fiduciary and their counsel.
No. Our services are provided as part of the normal real estate transaction. There is no separate or added estate fee.
The court-appointed representative, trustee, or professional fiduciary selects the listing agent.
Appointed supports this process by identifying experienced local agents, coordinating introductions, and facilitating the execution of the listing agreement at the direction of the fiduciary and counsel.
If a preferred agent is already identified, Appointed will coordinate directly with that agent to assist with documentation and reporting.
Approved vendors are paid for completed services, subject to fiduciary authorization. Appointed and the listing agent are compensated only if and when a property sale successfully closes, in accordance with the listing agreement and applicable approvals.
Most services performed by independent third-party vendors are paid through escrow at closing (when the property has sold).
We combine real estate expertise with structured documentation and reporting designed to support fiduciary and attorney oversight.
Documents, vendor activity, and estate-related payments are organized within the Property Activity Report (PAR), creating a clear, transparent record intended to assist court review — all for the same cost as a standard sale.
Appointed helps coordinate the process, organize documentation, and maintain clear reporting.
