McCabe St Case Study: A Double Probate, Four Siblings, and a Close in Three Months

The Situation

Karen found us through a form on our website. She had inherited a property on McCabe Street in Eaton, Ohio from her father and reached out thinking it would be a fairly straightforward probate sale. We agreed on a price and she was ready to move forward — but first, she needed a probate attorney to make sure the paperwork was handled correctly for her father’s estate. We referred her to the attorney we work closely with for exactly these situations.

That’s when the real complexity came to light.

Her mother had passed away years earlier — but that estate had never gone through probate. Before anyone could deal with the father’s side of things, they first had to go through probate for the mother. That meant getting all four siblings to sign off on the mother’s estate. Then, once that was resolved, they had to do it all over again for the father. Two separate probate processes. Four siblings on each one. The kind of situation that, in a typical real estate transaction, could drag on for the better part of a year.

How We Helped

We stayed with it. Working alongside the probate attorney and keeping everyone coordinated, we got the entire double probate process resolved and closed the property in approximately two and a half to three months. Karen walked away happy — with a clean sale and the estate finally settled on both sides.

✔ Double probate resolved — mother’s and father’s estates both cleared ✔ All four siblings coordinated and signed on both sides ✔ Referred seller to trusted probate attorney ✔ Closed in approximately 2.5–3 months ✔ Would have taken close to a year in a traditional transaction
