Making an Informed Decision

  • Is keeping the property financially viable for you?


    We start by determining if you can qualify for long-term financing before proceeding with any short-term trust or estate loan. This ensures you won't be stuck with an expensive loan you can't refinance.

  • Worried about the cost of the trust loan?

    While trust and estate loans have higher interest rates initially, they're designed as short-term solutions. Most clients quickly refinance into conventional loans at much lower rates after the property transfer is complete.

  • Concerned about qualifying for financing?


    We evaluate your ability to qualify for long-term financing from the start, ensuring you don't take on short-term debt without a clear path forward.

Answers to Common Questions

What's the difference between trust lending and probate lending?

Trust lending is primarily used to help beneficiaries take advantage of Proposition 19 and keep their parents low Proposition 13 tax base. While probate lending provides liquidity during the probate process for expenses or to prevent foreclosure, lending can also be for Prop 19 purposes.

Will I have to personally guarantee the loan?

No. Our probate loans are not tied to you individually - they're secured by real property.

How quickly can funding be provided?

For urgent situations like preventing foreclosure, we can expedite funding once we have the necessary documentation. Typically anywhere from 5-10 business days.

What makes your loans different from a regular mortgage?

Using your own funds or a regular mortgage to buy out beneficiaries triggers property tax reassessment. Our trust and estate loans are structured specifically to comply with Prop 19 rules to preserve your tax base. (*These loans are also not personally guaranteed.)

How much can I save in property taxes?

Many clients preserve a tax rate of around $1,000 annually instead of facing reassessment that could increase to $11,000-$12,000 per year. When we meet, we can help you calculate your estimated property tax savings.
