Talk to a Probate SpecialistIn recent months, we've seen an increase in fraud targeting vacant homes, including cases where a family member has had to leave a property during a probate or other life transition. Criminals notice when a property sits vacant or shows signs of neglect.
They will file a fake deed with the county recorder's office, removing the property from the rightful owner's name and transferring it into their own name or a company's name.
From there, the criminal will attempt to sell the property, which is very possible for them to do. We recommend consulting your attorney right away to help protect against something like this happening to your family. This notice is intended as a courtesy. We always recommend seeking the advice of a qualified attorney, and we're happy to recommend one if you need it.
The Arizona Department of Real Estate runs a free Early Alert System. Register the property and you are notified when a pending sale matches it — while the sale is still pending, before it can close. It is the single fastest step you can take against the fraud described above.

I had the honor of assisting a previous client, I'll call him Calvin, in navigating the probate process amid his father's passing. The hoarded property lacked insurance, complicating cleanup and security. As a probate real estate expert, I became Calvin's guide, addressing not just the property sale but providing support during a challenging time. I coordinated immediate concerns, collaborating closely with a cleanout company and connecting Calvin with an insurance broker. In navigating probate intricacies, I referred him to a trusted attorney.
We faced a real challenge when a fake deed was filed with the county in a scam attempt to steal the property. Swift intervention protected Calvin's property rights. Despite the home's poor condition, I believed in its potential and connected with off-market investors to turn a difficult sale into a success. Throughout, my commitment extended beyond the transaction to Calvin's well-being. Dealing with a loved one's estate is emotionally taxing, and I provided the compassionate support needed.
I share this story not to showcase experience, but to assure you that you're not alone. I'm here to guide you, offering real estate expertise, a steady hand, and a compassionate heart during challenging times.
I had the privilege of helping clients from another state navigate a challenging probate situation. A brother had passed away, leaving his sister in charge of his hoarded property, and I was determined to make the process as seamless as possible despite the complexities. The state of the property was overwhelming, and time was of the essence.
My unwavering determination allowed me to take on the task of recommending a probate attorney, helping to clean out the house, and deciding what to do with the beloved pets. Balancing the emotional toll with practical considerations, I worked tirelessly to prepare the property for a potential sale, knowing that time was of the essence. Recognizing the urgency, I reached out to my network and connected with an investor client who saw the property's potential beyond its current state.
Through strategic negotiations, I orchestrated a quick sale that not only provided relief to the sister but also presented a valuable investment opportunity to my client.
I had the privilege of aiding a family during a pivotal moment. I'll call her Georgia, a cherished member of the community, had reached a stage where transitioning to an assisted living facility became necessary. Her family was feeling the weight of that decision and reached out to me for help. Realizing how urgent it was, I quickly got everything in order for Georgia's smooth transition.
I went through her home, being careful with all the memories, and worked with an estate sale professional. To make the house more attractive for a quick sale, I brought in a professional stager. Even though the place needed some updates, it turned into a real showstopper. The family was so relieved, they could now give Georgia the best care in her new spot. As she settled into her new place with a supportive community, our teamwork made a real difference.
